We recently held a Health Careers Showcase for Bay of Plenty high school students at the Tauranga Race Course. Students interested in a future career in healthcare from 10 different local colleges (including Tauranga Boys and Girls Colleges, Otumoetai College, Mt Maunganui College, and Te Puke High School) attended the event.

Professionals from nursing, physiotherapy, anaesthetic, radiology, pharmacy and urology specialties presented to the attendees, sharing their experience and insights into their chosen careers. Students were then able to ask questions, gaining valuable insight and inspiration about potential future career options.

Grace Hospital runs this event annually for the budding healthcare professionals of our future. If you may be interested in attending the next event, or a career in the healthcare industry, speak to your school’s career advisor. These events are usually held in June each year.
