Barriere Secondary students visit health care roadshow
KAMLOOPS — As we’ve heard during the provincial election campaign, health care is an important topic throughout British Columbia, especially in rural areas of the province. Last Friday, students at Barriere Secondary School got the opportunity to learn about careers in health, from university students who are studying in various areas of the field. The hope is the roadshow might help attract these high school students into a career in health care when the time comes.
With a variety of options when it comes to post-secondary education, choosing a career path can be a difficult choice for high school grads.
