CVEP helps to give students a fun and unique glimpse into the healthcare industry
This week as part of the Job Shadow Program in CVEP's Pathways to Success program, Dr. Carreon Academy, Dr. Carreon Foundation, and JFK Memorial Hospital teamed up to promote healthcare careers to 5th Grade students from Dr. Carreon Academy in Indio. The students were exposed to the operations of the hospital and of the variety of career opportunities in the health and allied health fields. The students participated in mock disaster situations such as an earthquake disaster drill while learning about the diverse career opportunities in the healthcare industry. A highlight for the students included a surprise visit from a Mercy Air helicopter where the students were able to sit in the helicopter and learn about disaster response. The goal of the field trip was to motivate the students and get them thinking about higher education and careers in the health field. Click here to watch the KESQ news segment from the field trip. |

Where is CA in the battle for Most Business Friendly?
A recent CNN article reports a battle between Florida and Texas governors as to which state is the most business friendly. "Florida Governor Rick Scott is determined to swipe the title of most business-friendly state from Rick Perry, his counterpart in Texas, which has held it for seven years. 'Watch your back,' warned Scott on Thursday, announcing his plans to capture the top spot in Chief Executive Magazine's ranking for job growth and business development. Florida placed third this year. 'Florida is eliminating job killing regulation, reducing the size and cost of government, and making sure we have the best educated workforce,' said Scott, who took office in January, pledging to revive the state's job market. 'We have no personal income tax and are phasing out the business tax, starting with eliminating it entirely for half the business that paid it.'"
