This visitor will give our students who are interested in going into occupations related to healthcare an important certification. First aid, CPR, and AED training is required for many jobs, even entry level. This certification can be expensive for young adults looking to get into jobs that might help them in the future. Allowing all the students in my Intro to Healthcare Occupations class the opportunity to walk away with a certification that will help them become more employable is paramount. This just might help someone who is financially limited stick with their dreams and aspirations.
In addition to walking away with a certificate to help make the students more employable, it will give them meaningful hands on opportunities. First aid and CPR are one unit in our class and nothing makes a lesson more meaningful than doing hands on training. Reading about how to do the skills associated with first aid and CPR is not even close to as impactful as physically performing the tasks.
