Visions Now Offering Two Healthcare CTE Pathways

Visions In Education is proud to announce that we’ve expanded our Career and Technical Education (CTE) partnership with Folsom Lake College to offer an additional healthcare pathway: Health and Nutrition! Students in our Independent Study and University Prep academies can now choose between two pathways to explore career opportunities in healthcare. These community college opportunities allow students to earn college credit while still in high school and get a head start on planning for life after graduation.

Health and Nutrition Pathway

This pathway of courses prepares the student for a career in nutritional science and related fields or a program in clinical dietetics. See this page for more information.

Medical Careers Pathway

This multi-year sequence of courses will prepare students for a variety of careers within the healthcare field. See this page for more information.

Both of these pathways include a variety of features and benefits to help students start preparing for their future.

Student Benefits:
