Lawrenceburg, In. — Ivy Tech Community College is partnering with Highpoint Health and Purdue Extension to host a hands-on learning experience to introduce middle school and high school students to healthcare careers.
The Investigation: Health Careers and You program on October 8 is an opportunity for youth in 7th-10th grades to meet with professionals from Highpoint Health and the Ivy Tech Lawrenceburg School of Nursing. The day-long program provides students with opportunities to tour Highpoint Health and visit with medical professionals to learn about their career and education, followed by a trip to Ivy Tech to experience hands on nursing utilizing the College’s Simulation Lab.
