Last week STEPS participated in Health Heroes, an annual health careers expo for high school students.

Around 600 students, parents and teachers attended the event to find out more about training and education pathways for the health industry.

Together with Focus Health we spoke to students about the range of Aged Care, Health administration and Management courses that we have available. We also provided some interactive experiences including black-light hand-washing and special impaired goggles that put them in the shoes of the elderly or vision impaired.

Many of the other stall holders provided similar experiences and there were patients with phony (but very realistic!) injuries around as well which added to the fun.

All in all it was an excellent day and well worth the great effort put in by everyone involved, some photos of the day are below.

If you or anyone you know is interested in a career in health, you may be interested to know that our Aged Care courses are an excellent lead in to further training in this area and provide real employment opportunities while undertaking further studies.
