Introduction to Health Careers - March

Penn Highlands DuBois is offering a course designed for high school juniors and seniors to introduce different professions in a health care environment allowing the students the opportunity to engage directly with them.

The professionals will share their thoughts with the students about pros, cons and different aspects of their profession, and when possible, give a tour of the department providing the student with an interactive experience demonstrating the equipment utilized within the specialized department.

Parent and student must attend sign up night on Thursday, February 23 at 6:00 PM.

The course is open to juniors and seniors at DuBois Area High School, DuBois Central Catholic and Brockway High School.
