Numbers of those in the helping professions and vocations (nursing, teaching, law enforcement, priesthood, missionary work, etc.) has been plummeting for years. Recently, though, some companies, like Johnson & Johnson and Tylenol*, are helping to revitalize some these sacrificial career fields by offering scholarships and programs to encourage, promote and support those wanting to enter the health field.
SO WHY IS THIS ON THE NFP BLOG?
Great question. Well, the good news is that we are experiencing an increase in interest in NFP from Catholics and Non-Catholics alike, but the bad news is that we don’t have enough teachers. The good news is that we’ve had some people (though not quite enough) express interest in teaching, but the bad news is that sometimes we can’t cover the costs of training, particularly for the medical methods of NFP (Marquette & Creighton).
So, are you or somebody you know thinking about teaching NFP but cost is a barrier? Check out the above links, or keep me posted on more opportunities like this.
