2022 Career Academies Information

Registration for DVC’s Summer 2022 Career Academies opens in Spring.  For updates, please complete the Academy Interest Card.

Health Careers Academy 

This year our Health Care Careers Academy will look different due to Covid. We are planning an intensive clinical diagnostic and therapeutic learning academy. Emergency Preparedness and Public Health will be heavily addressed. The academy is being reduced from six to three weeks with many outdoor competencies and guest speakers from our local business partners.

There is a strong online certification component (FEMA, Stanford University, John Hopkins University, NFHS, etc. ) and a Career Portfolio building seminar during the academy. Also, students from our new campus club and Career Technical Student Organization HOSA will be joining the academy participants to enhance their overall experience.
