The center is working with "Kids into Health Careers".

Kids Into Health Careers
A "Kids into Health Careers" project will be developed by project staff and administered to K-12 school districts with the assistance of the Graduate Research Assistant Health Professionals and faculty. Sample presentations provided on the KIHC web site will be reviewed for applicability and revised, if necessary, to accommodate the student population. An interactive KIHC component will be developed for the project web site and K-12 students will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful educational activities focusing on geriatric education.

AGHE has created a website called www.careersinaging.com that provides extensive information on the different career tracks in gerontology, as well as the best academic programs to get one started on that career path.  The site was created to be a resource for people who are totally unfamiliar with the field of aging as well as for those who may have some knowledge but want to know more about aging-related careers. AGHE has also developed two booklets and a videotape detailing and promoting the career opportunities and options available in the field of aging. more...
