Welcome from Coach Lucy and Dr. Rob
Welcome. Health care is the largest source of new jobs in many communities, and students can start climbing that ladder before they graduate.
This pathway starts free, builds real job skills with Digital Health Navigator Pro, and stacks into Community Health Worker and home care training, with work-readiness built in.
Start with the first rung. Every hour counts toward the next one.

Good to know
Which grades is this for?
FREE Basics works for everyone. DHN Pro and Home Care fit high school CTE and adults. Junior CHW is for ages 16–17. CHW Pro is for learners 18 and older.
Do teachers need health training to lead it?
No. Every course has a Group Leader Guide with schedules, openers, activities and discussion questions, and teachers get Ambassador and Group Leader access.
Can students earn real credentials?
FFH courses give certificates of completion and prepare students for outside credentials such as AHCCCS Direct Care Worker and CNA/LNA, which are earned through approved programs and state boards.
How do we track hours?
Every minute in the course is tracked per learner. Teachers see time, scores and badges on the cohort dashboard and can export it.
Can workforce boards use it too?
Yes. See the county and agency page for cohort licenses, train-the-trainer and funding paths.
