Southeast Minnesota Region Developed two projects for the region: Medical Coding Specialist Online Learning Program And Customer Service/Retail Sales Training Certificate Presenters: Theresa Luther-Dolan Southeast Regional Transitions Coordinator Cathy Quam ABE Instructor – Retail Sales & Service Course Mary Schroeder ABE Instructor – Medical Careers in a Digital World Course

Why these career pathways? Employment outlook for Southeast Minnesota indicates Medical Records & Health Information Technician are high demand careers. (e.g. Health Records Administration, Health Records Technology, Medical Coding & Billing) Retail/Customer Service Jobs rank 5 th in demand with 308 job openings expected in the next five years in SE Minnesota.

Project One: Medical Coding Specialist Medical records and health information technicians are high demand jobs in the southeast region. A medical coding specialist career pathway was developed in partnership with MN State Southeast Technical College.

All of the coursework for this career can be done entirely online. A medical coding specialist candidate can do pre-coursework at an ABE site and then enroll at SE Technical College. The learner can continue ABE enrollment while completing the online courses.

Project Steps A team of ABE teachers from the region developed a curriculum framework and complied a list of resources for the medical coding specialist career pathway.

SE Regional Transitions Coordinators worked closely with the faculty at SE Technical to develop a specific curriculum outline and provide resources that integrate the foundational skills within the occupational content as a bridge course.

SE ABE instructors and mangers participated in a workshop that provided training on how to implement this bridge course and online coursework into their programs.

Medical Coding Career Workshop Included: Overview on how to prepare ABE learners to be successful online learners. Resources included examples of pitfalls and misconceptions for online learning; what type of learner will be a successful online learner; online learning pros & cons; success strategies; technology/computer skills curriculum Overview of the medical coding specialist career Panelists from the field and faculty from MN State SE Technical College Resources included modules in: college culture; job skills; medical coding specialist bridge curriculum; reading, science, math, writing; study skills; medical terminology descriptions

Project Two: Retail/Customer Service Careers Retail/customer service careers are in high demand in the southeast Minnesota region. ABE programs were requesting help with developing training programs for these type of careers.

A workshop was held for ABE instructors to become certified trainers of the National Retail Federation Foundation Sales & Service “Train the Trainer” Program. Once trained the ABE instructors received curriculum and the certification needed to be able to deliver the NRF Foundation Sales & Service Learning Program. ABE learners complete the course, must pass a test and then receive a customer service certificate which is a credential to show potential retail employers.
