This month, IU Health hosted an event celebrating some of the talent pipeline partnerships with career and technical education high school programs across the West Region. The event, hosted at the Greater Lafayette Career Academy (GLCA), a partner in the program, featured high school CTE programs from Boone, Clinton, Tippecanoe, Pulaski and White counties. Numerous IU Health team members were present to answer student questions and provide career information. Current and former students in the partnership shared their experiences to inspire additional students interested in a healthcare career to showcase how IU Health could support them in reaching their goals. IU Health has hired 36 students into entry level positions over the past 18 months as a direct result of these school partnerships. Students are working in a variety of clinical and non-clinical roles where they are employed PRN, part-time or full-time.
