ProvidenceReady Program
ProvidenceReady Program
ProvidenceReady connects career seekers of all ages to health care careers through experiential learning and work experiences. Our innovative and award-winning program encourages career seekers to explore the many career opportunities that exist within health care and provides experiential opportunities such as paid internships, and more. Our mission is for career seekers to make better-informed career decisions and to create pathways for careers within Providence. We hope to motivate and inspire individuals on their own career pathway.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between 2019-2029, health care is predicted to be the fastest growing employment sector with an anticipated 15% job growth. For the career seeker, it is important to know that additional schooling is associated with higher pay and less unemployment over the course of one's lifetime.
For high school students, ProvidenceReady events can demonstrate relevancy to classroom learning and may be used to meet high school graduation requirements. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to partner with teachers, counselors, and schools to bring health career exploration to students.
