Health Careers for High
School Students
The need for
healthcare workers continues to grow in our community and throughout the
country. Hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, laboratories, and other
health care agencies offer secure employment with opportunities for
advancement and further education.
Taking any of these
programs while still in high school is an unbelievable opportunity! First
of all, there is NO tuition for high school students! Adults pay as much as
$3000 for the same training.
Second of all, you
will be starting your career right out of high school or after finishing
your clinicals. This is a tremendous head start for you and can help pay
for college.
Choosing a career in
healthcare requires a commitment to hard work, additional hours of study,
and compliance with high standards of performance. Many of our programs
are approved by community colleges and afford you the opportunity to earn
college credit while you are obtaining certification in a specific
healthcare field.
You will need to
arrange your high school schedules so you can attend SCTI when the course
you choose is offered. Some electives require additional costs for books
and supplies.
Any student who seeks
admission into the program areas (Nursing Assisting, Allied Health
Assisting, or Practical Nursing) will be asked to document his or her
transportation arrangements.
Please be aware that
ALL health programs schedule random drug testing and maintain a zero
tolerance to illegal drug use.
These programs are
designed just for high school students and prepare them for
employment or advanced training in the healthcare field.
