[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question is; Are these real life experiences and exposures leading to something a young person can put on their resume, and something that helps them explore a career requiring college and graduate school, or do you consider these internships only useful if you want to be (for example) a vet technician? [/quote]

Career exploration only. Which is great, but they need to make that super clear. The website is super misleading and could make families think their child will graduate with qualifications to work as a healthcare provider. [/quote]

Any family who is interested should tour for more info.

But they should also make the website descriptions less misleading.[/quote]

Which part is misleading? 
[/quote]

The charts for the healthcare pathways that state these students will be eligible to take exams that will make them actual healthcare providers.

When in reality, these positions are filled by people with zero qualifications who receive on the job training.[/quote]
