CTC Health Science teachers, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Olalde, Mrs. Cerda, and Mrs. Chesney, and the Tyler ISD CTC Health Science students, attended the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Health System Job Fair at the Career & Technology Center today. The opportunity for students to meet potential future employers for internships, future employment and to gain insight into the industry, was phenomenal. What an awesome Friday!
Students interacted with CPR mannequins and many other booths to gain more insight into the field and our local health care system. Some of the benefits include:
Real-World Insights: Attending the job fair provides students with firsthand knowledge about various healthcare careers, job expectations, and the skills required for success in the field.
Resume Building: Students can learn how to create and present their resumes effectively, gaining tips and feedback from industry experts.
Interview Practice: Many job fairs offer mock interviews, allowing students to practice their interviewing skills in a low-stress environment.
Exposure to Diverse Career Paths: Students can explore a wide range of career options within the health sciences, including nursing, medical technology, and administrative roles.
Understanding Job Market Trends: Students can gain insights into current job market trends, which can inform their educational and career choices.
Internship and Job Opportunities: Many employers at job fairs are looking for interns or entry-level employees, providing students with immediate opportunities to apply for positions.
