  12. We envision a program that includes all areas of health careers: Opportunities, ideally beginning in elementary school, for students to explore a variety of careers before deciding on a career pathway Integration of academics with applied learning around a particular topic (e.g., a disease) that allows a variety of academic subjects to be connected

  13. We envision a program that includes all areas of health careers: Emphasis on rigorous academics, especially in STEM A core curriculum (using nationally developed curriculum) regarding health care Opportunities for a continuum of work-based learning experiences including worksite visits, job shadows, summer STEP UP jobs, year-round STEP UP jobs, internships, apprenticeships, etc.

  14. We envision a program that includes all areas of health careers: Opportunities to take college classes while in high school (concurrent enrollment, PSEO, etc.) A clear pathway from the K-12 and ABE/incumbent worker systems to 2- and 4-year colleges that build on high school coursework and allow for easy transfer from 2- to 4-year colleges

  15. We envision a program that includes all areas of health careers: HOSA chapter integrated into program Understanding of impact of culture on ways of looking at health and wellness
