RhPAP offers support to rural Alberta community attraction and retention committees to partner with the local health facility and high school(s) in hosting a rural high school event in the community.
Previously known as “Skills Days”, these interactive events offer high school students a hands-on opportunity to engage in common health-care activities. Students can also speak with the instructors about health-related careers in the community, job experiences, and the educational requirements for specific health-care careers. The intent of the high school events is to encourage local students to consider a career in rural health care and learn about the local opportunities that are available.
