The first group of students at CITA just started their onsite rotations at Wellstar Health System facilities this week! They'll get to try out various medical roles like emergency response, surgical tech, and more. It's a major opportunity for these teens to get real-world training and open doors for healthcare careers after graduation. Wellstar sees it as much more than a temporary gig - they want to welcome the students as part of the team and support them on a journey to full-time employment. The students were all smiles at a welcome reception where they got their Wellstar badges and first sanitation certification.
