Healthcare Career Pathways

In Uplift Education’s Healthcare Pathways program, scholars can earn college credits through dual credit courses while exploring healthcare careers in collaboration with Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH). Beginning in the 9th grade, scholars receive mentorship from experienced professionals, hands-on clinical experiences, state-of-the-art learning facilities at school, pathways to employment, and tuition reimbursement once employed by BSWH. By weaving real-world learning and dedicated support into every step of the journey, our scholars are empowered to make a positive impact on their communities and build a rewarding career in healthcare by senior year.
