Fueled by a $1 million bi3 grant, TriHealth’s School to Work program gives Cincinnati Public School Students the opportunity of real-world working experience and mentorship in the healthcare field. A partnership of Cincinnati Public Schools and TriHealth, the program enables students to rotate through nine departments within Good Samaritan Hospital over a two-year period, all while earning a paycheck.
In 2024, 16 Cincinnati Public School (CPS) high school seniors graduated from the School to Work (STW) program. Among this year’s graduating class, 13 students are college-bound, two plan to enlist in military service to pursue careers in nursing, and one is immediately pursuing a career in healthcare. All of the graduates have credited their STW program experience as the reason for their career choices!
Since its launch in 2019, nearly 110 students have participated in the STW program, and CPS student interest in the program has skyrocketed, with 90 applicants for 30 positions just this year!
