Workplace Tour
Resources for employers, educators, and students hosting or participating in workplace tours and visits
Why offer workplace tours?
Activities that take place virtually or on high school campuses—like guest speaker events—can make career exploration more accessible to students.
Seeing healthcare professionals in their ‘real-life’ work environments, however, encourages students to make the connection between what they’ve learned in school settings and what actually happens on the ground in a healthcare setting.
After hearing about a range of healthcare professions during classroom activities, workplace tours allow students to delve deeper.
The Ready for Healthcare Workplace Tour Toolkit materials cover:
the purpose of a workplace tour
pre-tour research and preparation for students and educators
student active listening and notetaking
types of healthcare professions and associated responsibilities
sample activities and agendas for employers hosting workplace tours
professional networking skills for students
reflection and evaluation
