Who we are
The PCHWC seeks to raise awareness and excitement about healthcare careers, to educate more Iowans in high-demand occupations, and employ these individuals in healthcare organizations in Polk County and the State of Iowa. To serve the high school population a work-based learning navigator will engage students and educators through hands-on exploration, information, and connection to professionals. Currently, each organization is receiving calls and emails from teachers asking for ‘shadowing opportunities’ for students.
