A Career in Health Care
Are you in grade 7? You’re dreaming about a career…
Are you in grade 8? You have to make your course selection for high school…
Are you in grade 9, 10 or11?You’re thinking about career options…
Are you in grade 12? You have to make choices…
If you like helping people and you’re looking for a job that offers a challenge – and good pay – consider a career in community health care. Doctors and nurses aren’t the only health care providers in your community – you could become a high tech radiologist or a “hands-on” massage therapist or even a public health inspector!
Why Choose a Career In Health Care? • Because skilled health care providers are in demand! • Our population is aging and will need more health care services • There is a shortage of health care providers right now – especially doctors and nurses • Advances in technology and pharmacology are opening doors for skilled technicians • Our aging workforce (the babyboomers) means many health care providers will be retiring within the next decade
How to Get Started… Talk to your teacher or guidance counsellor to find out more. They will be able to help you find more information and might even be able to connect you with people working in the field or make suggestions about which career would be best for you.
Consider doing some volunteer work in the field you are interested in.
Consider a high school co-op program, where you can get practical work experience.
Try spending a day job-shadowing someone in your community who is working in the job you’re interested in.
Check out the website links for the careers you’re interested in.
Explore college and university programs. Look at websites and calendars of colleges and universities to check out courses and requirements.
Don’t miss out on career days and fairs at your school and in your community!
And the Best Part Is… These jobs are available right in your own “backyard” in every community. You don’t have to go to a big city to work in health care. Health care is the #1 priority for people in Ontario and that means that every community needs people like you to keep them healthy.
30% of health care providers will be retiring in the next 12 to 15 years
