Career Ladder Program:  After 6-9 months of whole blood collection as a BCT-I, individuals meeting skill proficiency guidelines may advance to the next step by learning an automated collection platform for double red cells using an ALYX machine.  Once completing training on the ALYX machine and the proficiency guidelines met individuals move to an assignment as Blood Collection Technician- II.  As a Blood Collection Technician-II performing both whole blood and automated double red cell collection there is room to grow after another 6-9 months to a Blood Collection Technician-III or Apheresis Technician.  In this role, individuals learn to perform a procedure in which part of the blood such as platelets or white blood cells taken out, and the rest of the blood returned to the donor.
