What’s Trending in Peoria Unified? Preparing our students for careers! Peoria Unified is home to many nationally recognized Career and Technical Education programs including our medical assisting program. One aspect of our CTE courses includes giving our students career experience and providing them with internship opportunities.

This summer, our high school students partnered with a local rehabilitation clinic to provide our students internships and help them to become certified nursing assistants.

On this episode, we are joined by Frank Beard a senior from Raymond S. Kellis and Mrs. Tristan Palmer, a nursing teacher from Sunrise Mountain High School.

To learn more about all of our career pathways, attend our Career Pathways Expo on Oct. 13 at Cactus High School.
