Professional Studies

Local professionals will serve as screened volunteers who provide guidance and expertise to students in their career explorations. 

Students will work in local workplaces, learning from professionals as they participate in authentic career experiences.

Students have the opportunity to pursue a career path in the Health Sciences Industry.

This course is currently offered onsite at St. Luke’s North Hospital. Health Sciences combines professional-based classroom learning with four, two-week internship experiences in the healthcare industry.

Students will acquire professional skills in the area of health care, learn about different types of healthcare delivery systems, explore a variety of legal and ethical issues related to medicine, and develop an individual career plan for post-secondary planning. Students gain CPR/AED certification and HIPPA training/certification.

Local professionals will serve as guest lecturers in the classroom and as curriculum resources to teachers. In this area, we will build our own immersion experiences like the ones in Northland CAPS. Our first offering is an education strand called Education 2020.

Teachers will get authentic professional experiences in the workplace, to help them provide relevant lessons in their classrooms.

Through this partnership, students learn relevant career skills in agriculture, construction, culinary arts, diesel technology, health sciences, law enforcement, IT, welding, HVAC and early childhood.
