AdventHealth expands career previews and paid internships for Volusia students
Summary
AdventHealth described expanded early‑talent programming—career previews, paid internships, hospital tours and a September 'Step into the Future' event—to create health‑care career pathways for Volusia County students.
AdventHealth staff described a growing pipeline of early‑career experiences for Volusia students, including paid internships at the Daytona campus and career preview programs that more than doubled participation from the prior year. Truly, the partnership’s workforce development specialist, said the organization conducted more campus tours and immersive experiences and plans to expand the 'Step into the Future' event to middle schoolers in September.
Officials said the career preview program increased by 57% and seven health academies participated; hospital internship programs were singled out as a pathway that often led to job offers after completion. Board members and district leaders praised the expansion and said they would continue aligning school CTE programming with industry partners to promote local hiring pathways.
