YES Program Applications Due Feb. 26

We are now accepting applications for the second round of our innovative YES (Your Efforts, Supported) Program. 

If you or someone you know is interested in applying, complete the application packet on the How to Apply to YES! page on the YES hub by 11:59 p.m., Monday, Feb. 26.

What Is YES?

YES helps participants learn, earn additional certifications and further their education to meet career goals—all while helping us fill important positions within our organization.

Ultimately, the program can help you move into higher paying roles that improve your financial well-being.

How Does YES Work?

If you are an entry-level employee and the degrees and certifications available through YES interest you, apply!

If you are accepted into the program, you will spend time with (shadow) someone in the role you choose, to make sure it’s a good fit for you.

Once you’ve selected the role you want to pursue, you’ll work with the senior education consultant and YES program navigator, Natasha Saunders, to determine your custom path in the program.

You’ll work to earn your degree or required certification needed for your new role while working a reduced workload at Carilion.

Then you start your new career at Carilion!

Is YES for You?

Entry-level employees from any Carilion facility can apply for the spring 2024 cycle. To find out if you are eligible to apply, complete this eligibility form.

“This program is designed to help individuals who otherwise would not have the resources to further their education,” says Natasha Saunders. “It really is a fantastic program that is significantly impacting the employees who participate.”

Our first round of applicants began their YES journey in the fall. You can learn about them in this previous article.
