According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, “employment of veterinary technologists and technicians is projected to grow 20 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.” Employment is expected to grow as veterinarians continue to utilize veterinary technicians to perform medical tests under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian to assist in diagnosing the injuries and illnesses of animals.

ANNA Shelter’s Director, Ruth Thompson, and IMBC’s President, Michael Euliano, agree this partnership will benefit the Erie community and simultaneously provide occupational training with a strong job outlook.
