North Penn High School.
The North Penn School District Educational Foundation has partnered with the Boston Legacy Foundation and the VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn to implement a grant to provide five career exploration headsets for students at North Penn High School.
The cutting-edge technology will provide exciting, virtual opportunities for students to explore different career options. The program is designed to engage traditionally under-represented students in learning about career paths in numerous fields, including the healthcare field. The headsets provide a virtual reality experience of a “day in the life” of different professionals to experience what a future career could be like. This will enhance the Community Hosted Internship Program (CHIP) at North Penn High School by providing opportunities for students to experience a day in the job without the transportation and other barriers that may prevent all students from participating.
The community is invited to attend an informational event on Monday, Aug. 14 at 5 p.m. at North Penn High School to learn more about this exciting program, try the headsets, and listen to students about how technology affects their education and careers.
