Read some of the most common questions for your student.

How can I tell if a Health and Human Services career is right for my child?

When considering the possibility of a Health and Human Services career for your child it is important to think about what professional skills they may already have. Patient care and listening is important to be a successful medical provider, where patience and communication is key for being a great teacher.

What kind of jobs exist in the Health and Human Services field?

There are a variety of jobs in Health and Human Services, and an increasing need for people to fill these positions.
