Videos for teens
New curricula and standardized testing requirements are taking up more instructional time, while budget constraints are forcing cuts on the "extras." One result is that fewer schools are offering career days. Recognizing the value of gaining career information and inspiration, and the fact that health care is one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the United States, KidsHealth.org has created videos for teens highlighting health care-related jobs. These brief videos feature health care professionals going about their daily duties and explaining how they got started.
