Student Workplace Experiences

Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital Student Experience

Students need opportunities to visit with local business, industry, community based organizations, and higher education to better understand what careers match their interests and aptitudes.  Our series last year, which we began as a result of our initial educator visits to the Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital in 2021-22.  Following one of our one day educator visits, many of the schools reached out to the Cleveland Clinic to request student visits.  In response, the Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital offered to host 10 students each month, in partnership with the Lorain County BAC.  Targeted students interested in careers in healthcare entered employee only hallways and rooms (Surgery) during this four hour event to determine their interest in healthcare careers.
