Health Challenge 2024 – French Immersion Schools: A Great Way to Discover Careers in Healthcare

For the second consecutive year, this flagship event gave participants the opportunity to explore healthcare programs and discover the many careers available in this field through fun and interactive activities.

A packed program to inspire the next generation

The Health Challenge was designed to help students explore careers in healthcare, offering them a concrete way to learn about professions related to Collège Boréal’s health programs.

Through a series of short, fun competitions, students tackled practical challenges that showcased the essential skills of healthcare professionals. Each challenge was preceded by a brief program presentation, providing an overview of the training and related career opportunities.

The day’s schedule included:

• A warm welcome for students and their chaperones in the Trisac room;
• A presentation of the health-related programs offered at Collège Boréal;
• Interactive challenges in the gym for an engaging, hands-on experience;
• Opportunities to discuss programs and careers with the College’s teams.

Positive impact and encouraging feedback

The event received enthusiastic feedback from participants. A teacher from a participating high school shared:

“I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for organizing this exceptional field trip for my students. Thanks to your hard work and attention to detail, this experience was not only enriching, but also thoroughly enjoyable for everyone.

The students left with new knowledge and improved language confidence that will benefit their career paths. Your professionalism and hospitality truly made this day a memorable one.

Once again, thank you for your dedication and commitment. We look forward to participating in other equally well-thought-out and organized events in the future.”

Students especially appreciated the interactive challenges, which immersed them in practical scenarios while exploring the health programs.
