If you're a working behavioral health social worker, check out this opportunity!

Wichita State — with generous funding from Aetna — has created the Aetna Better Health Endowed Workforce Badge Program Fund, which provides scholarships for people already in the workforce who want to enhance their skills and build their resume. Classes are online, and you can complete them at your own pace.

You might think, "I'm already working — I don't need more college credit." But the truth is, professionals who want to grow their career must continue learning new skills and technologies to keep up with the needs of employers. Earning college credit through the WSU Badge Program lets your employer know you're receiving top-notch instruction from highly qualified instructors. And it shows up on your transcript, so you always have proof.

If you're interested in the behavioral health scholarship program, read more here: https://wsu.news/badgescholarships. Or learn more about all the other badges we offer here: https://www.wichita.edu/badges

Aug. 7, 2024 — Wichita State University has established the Aetna Better Health Endowed Workforce Badge Program Fund, thanks to a generous gift from Aetna Better Health.
