The Mountainland CTE Region will be hosting multiple "Heath Career Fairs" during the months of November and December 2022. Utah Valley, Wasatch County, and Summit County students will have an opportunity to grow their healthcare knowledge on various career pathways and connect them to post-secondary education options. Students will be able to attend 3 hands-on sessions presented by industry professionals. During these sessions, students will discover real-world practices, as well as interact with industry experts and ask questions related to healthcare careers.
Sessions available include presentations from health professionals in mental health, dentistry, emergency care, nursing, sports medicine, labor & delivery, search & rescue, physical therapy, physician assistants, and more! With almost 12,000 health professional job openings typically available in Utah*, occupations in healthcare are the 4th largest in-demand jobs regionally. UVU and MTECH will be on hand to share the programs, certificates, and degrees available to help students get the education necessary to meet local these industry needs.
