Kids Into Health Careers Slide Show

Addressing Target Audiences
A separate sample presentation has been prepared for each of the Kids into Health Careers targeted groups, but each has the same aim -- to impress upon educators, students in grades 6-12 and K-5, and their families that health care jobs are available and attainable. Each presentation includes talking points and visual aids.

Presentation to grade K-5 students | Presentation to grade 6-12 students
Students pay closer attention and learn more when they are engaged.  For that reason, both of the student presentations provide opportunities for give and take.  The presentation to older students includes information about various health profession jobs, what is required to qualify for them and methods of paying for a health care education.  The presentation to K-5 students is more modest, aiming to spark the imaginations of the student audience with the possibilities of a future in health care.  

Sample Presentation to Teachers, Counselors and/or School Administrators  
The thrust of this presentation is to inform school personnel that the health care field provides enormous opportunity for their students and that:

• A whole range of health care careers exist;
  

• Opportunities in the field are only going to grow in the future; and
  

• Qualifying for health care jobs doesn't necessarily require a post- graduate degree, but can be as easy as an apprenticeship or training program.

In addition, this presentation provides information about health care education programs and about financing for them so that busy teachers and guidance counselors can easily make it accessible to their students.  

Sample Presentation to Parents
This presentation is very similar to the student 6-12 presentation, providing parents with an understanding of the opportunity in health care, what it takes to qualify, and how to finance a health care education.  In the event of a mixed parent/student audience, the student presentation could be used without omitting any information.
