Rural Healthcare Work Placements are designed to give students a chance to gain hands-on work experience in a healthcare setting. Through these work experience placements, students have applied knowledge and skills learned through their school courses in a healthcare environment. They have also learned things that are not possible in a classroom setting.

Requirements for Application

All student applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • A resident of Huron County
  • Intending to return to full time studies in a healthcare related area of study in September 2012
  • Can demonstrate their interest in a healthcare related career
  • Meet the candidate qualifications as requested by the employer

Only candidates who meet these criteria will be hired by employers and only those candidates selected for interviews by the employer will be contacted. Thank you for your interest in these placements.

Student Expectations:

  • Both employer and student will be required to attend an initial orientation session and a final group wrap-up session (in July) that will offer the opportunity for students and employers who participated in the program to share their experiences.
  • During placement, students will be required to complete at least one questionnaire that will relate to evaluation of the placement and performance.  Employers are encouraged to share progress and performance information with students throughout the placement period.
  • Employers and students will be requested for pictures and testimonial statements to be used with their permission on promotion and information related materials such as flyers, newsletters, websites, etc.
