Welcome to the Health Careers Industry Cluster website.
This website is about activities going on at the schools, events and opportunities for BPS students and teachers, as well as resources related to BPS Health Careers themed high schools and programs.
Good News
- There are 14 newly trained American Heart Association Instructors who can know instruct and certify our students in critical health and safety skills
- There are also four newly certified Seven Habits Teen facilitators who will be offering workshops and trainings to students this year
- Summer Internships – Fifteen young people successfully completed paid internships at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, Simon C. Fireman Specialized Housing and Boston Medical Center. An additional twenty-four students completed the “Community Voices – a Photo Essay of Health Disparities” Program. Date for student presentations at Northeastern TBA.
On-Going Initiatives
- Early Nursing Initiatives – Secondary and Post-Secondary: Representatives who sponsor the numerous early nursing initiatives for Boston’s high school will be collaborating this year so that all program information will be disseminated to schools via one document. This should make student outreach and recruitment easier for staff and students. Look for the recruitment document to be available by end of September.
- Careers In Urban Nursing – 2009: We will be outreaching to students interested in a career in Nursing at CASH, HCA, Odyssey, PATH, Brighton, East Boston, and Madison’s Medical Assistant Program starting in October
- Bunker Hill’s STAND Program: Students will once again have an opportunity to participate in this college early nursing program. East Boston High and Quincy Upper will join the school network this year.
- Nursing Club @ U. Mass: The only program to offer experiences from both 10th and 11th graders. A great way to start your nursing exploration.
- Roxbury Community College: The collegewill also be offering an early nursing initiative this year.
Where Are They Now? - Jennifer Cox and Evelyn Lopez
These Odyssey HS and Brighton HS graduates are currently employed at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center as nurse assistants, where they are participating in Massachusetts Bay Community College’s L.P.N. program. This includes transportation to the campus; pay while on campus, tutors and mentors. Both young women are thriving at work and in their studies.
“How fortunate we are to have this special task of preparing tomorrow’s
