PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
What is a Partnership?
Opportunities exist for health-related organizations and those who support educational programs to become involved with WV HOSA. WV HOSA's interests lie in working collaboratively with the healthcare community and stakeholders.
Why does WV HOSA need partners?
HOSA is committed to preparing future health care professionals. Our members will someday be your members, employees or customers. In order to provide the right opportunities for HOSA members, we need to form collaborative partnerships with the healthcare community.
The world of work is changing!
Right before our eyes, technology is infilltrating the health care industry - from the tools we use to deliver healthcare, to the very professionals themselves. We are not jsut talking about changes to existing careers, we are talking about entirely new careers in the health professions.
HOSA is about preparing students for the health professions.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the HOSA members you have now will have 10 different jobs by the time they are 38 years old. Of all the workers in America, half have been working that their current job for less than 5 years. The world is changing, and in order for our students to cope, they need the tools and experiences that allow them t adapt to change and work in the real world.
In HOSA, partnerships create real-world learning opportunities.
The purpose of Health Science Education and HOSA is to prepare students to pursue successful careers in the health care industry. Partnerships are a critical component of the educational process. HOSA facilitates partnerships that place students in a cooperative work environment with health care professionals. HOSA partnerships provide coordinated quality learning opportunities for HOSA members that enable them to function more effectively in their future health care careers.
