Program Overview
The Health Careers Pipeline Program is directed at high school students from underrepresented and minority populations, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of highly qualified health and human service professionals from those groups.
HCPP is a seven week mentorship program, centered on health career exploration, college readiness and leadership development, for underrepresented and minority ninth and tenth grade high school students from urban and rural communities in the West-Michigan region. Each cohort will include high school students from underserved rural and urban school and undergraduate mentors from health and human service programs at 澳门六合彩官网直播 and Grand Valley State University.
Students and mentors will meet for 90 minutes, weekly for nine weeks. Meetings will cover a variety of topics meant to introduce health careers to students, while allowing college mentors to discuss their own experiences as students working toward those careers.
The program will primarily utilize a virtual format, with only two in-person meetings.
Tentative 2024 Schedule
