Career Exploration
High Schoolers, are you interested in a career in healthcare? Adventist Health is offering a new program - LAUNCH (Learning and Understanding New Careers in Healthcare)—a new workforce development program designed to help students explore, prepare for, and imagine a future in healthcare.
LAUNCH offers students the opportunity to explore a wide range of healthcare careers through:
Hands-on learning and simulations
Mentorship and career exposure
Experiences across hospital and outpatient settings
Importantly, LAUNCH introduces students to both clinical and non-clinical career paths, helping them understand how an entire healthcare system works together.
Applications for the inaugural LAUNCH spring cohort are now open and will close January 31. But don’t fret. Additional application periods will open throughout the year. We’ll be taking on students on a rolling basis, so as spring spots fill up, another group of students will start in summer 2026.
Eligible applicants include:
High school students (age 16+)
Partnering with parents to disciple college-worthy Christ followers for a lifetime of leadership.Save the Date
