Public health is one of the most promising fields for finding a job and building a career. Entry-level positions, however, can require intensive education, and the cost of attending a four-year college has become increasingly burdensome for middle- and low-income families. A partnership between Bakersfield College and the Kern High School District is working to change that by connecting students with emerging opportunities in public health. Nearly three-quarters of students at the 18 participating high schools are from low-income households, so this option to embark on a career with no student debt β or far less than average β is especially valuable for program participants.
There are always opportunities to connect Bakersfield College graduates with that critical next step β securing employment in a good paying job. The students benefit, local employers benefit and everyone in the community is better for it. An early jump on a healthy career. This California partnership connects high school students with health-care jobs.
