High School Career Experience Event
Exploring Opportunities in HealthCare
Welcome High School Students
What is a High School Career Experience Event?
A three hour, interactive event for high school students in the FVHCA service area to learn about various healthcare careers. Students will rotate in small groups through three different career areas and are provided a packet of information at the end. Students are also given a completion certificate if they need attendance verification for classroom credit.
I just want to do a job shadow instead. Can I?
No. Not yet anyway. Because the number of requests for job shadows was immense, the FVHCA moved to the current model in the fall of 2010. If a student attends one of these events and still wishes to do an individual job shadow, it is up to the respective facility to grant an individual job shadow. However, attending one of the events first is a prerequisite.
My mom/dad/relative/neighbor/friend works at an area medical provider/educational institution and they know someone who said I can just job shadow them. Is that ok?
Sorry, no. See answer above.(Certain forms/paperwork needs to be done, and procedures must be followed so we appreciate your cooperation with this!)
I’ve looked at the event schedule and each session includes three career areas but I’m only interested in one of them. Can I just attend one part?
Many students have never even thought about a career in some of the areas included, and the point is to expose you to new things Also, each session has a welcome presentation and a wrap-up at the end where questions are answered. Attendance is taken at the beginning and end, so if you leave early, you won’t receive credit.
