Our
middle school (an inner city school) had a Health Careers Program
which I was a part of. In the seventh grade students in the
program worked in a day care center once a week throughout the
school year. In the eighth grade students split the year, once
a week, visiting a nursing home or senior center. The other half the
students worked in a health center or hospital. Depending on
their interest students worked either with health professionals or
other services in the health facilities. It was a very unique
experience that gave the students a good idea of the work world. A
component of the nursing home experience was an Adopted Grandparent
program. The students developed wonderful relationships with
the residents.
