(CHCC) — The 2023 CHCC Summer Youth Program and the Career Exploration Summer Internship — a collaborative effort between the Saipan Chamber of Commerce, CNMI Public School System, and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. — has successfully concluded, marking a significant milestone in nurturing the potential of our youth and fostering their interest in the healthcare industry.
This year’s program welcomed a cohort of 16 enthusiastic participants, who embarked on a transformative journey to attain invaluable knowledge and practical experience within the dynamic healthcare setting. Through the program, these dedicated interns had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in work-based learning, gaining insights and skills that will undoubtedly contribute to their future careers.
The primary focus of the Summer Youth Program was to empower students with a genuine interest in healthcare, specifically in Ancillary services. Placed across various ancillary units on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, these 16 interns exhibited exceptional dedication and enthusiasm, proving their commitment to honing their talents and expanding their horizons.
The partnership between the Saipan Chamber of Commerce, the CNMI Public School System, and the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp., has been instrumental in creating a comprehensive and enriching experience for our youth. By offering work-based learning experiences to high school students, we have not only fueled their passion for the healthcare sector but also taken substantial steps toward addressing the increasing demand for skilled professionals in the CNMI.
“Looking ahead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to nurturing the next generation of healthcare leaders. Through continued collaboration and innovative educational initiatives, we aspire to create a thriving workforce that will shape the future of healthcare in the CNMI and beyond,” CHCC said.
