Creating pathways to health-care careers together: IH & UBCO

IH recruitment teams connect with UBCO students through career fairs, classroom presentations, resume workshops, mock interviews and co-op opportunities.

For more than a decade, Interior Health (IH) and UBC Okanagan (UBCO) have partnered to provide students with valuable hands-on experience, helping them explore career opportunities, build career readiness and take their first steps into the workforce.

Many of the connections formed through this partnership have led to meaningful, long-term careers at IH for UBCO students.

Each year, IH recruitment teams connect with UBCO students through career fairs, classroom presentations, resume workshops, mock interviews and co-op opportunities, helping students learn about careers in health care while building valuable professional connections.

This work extends beyond the campus through initiatives such as the annual UBC Healthcare Travelling Roadshow, which introduces students to health-care careers and opportunities in communities across the Interior.
