Indigenous Healthcare Career Exploration Days have a specialized focus on Indigenous health & wellness and will prioritize Indigenous students.
The Red Deer Healthcare Career Exploration Day is being offered on both August 11 and 12. The schedule, activities, and content will be the same on both days. We encourage participants to register for only one day to allow as many students as possible to attend.
Due to typically high interest and a significant waitlist, it will be unlikely that participants will be able to switch days after registering. Please ensure you select the date that works best for you before completing your registration.
For any inquiries and additional information, please contact us at Youth.Careers@hssab.ca.
