Bluegrass Community & Technical College Summer Healthcare Success Academy

Bluegrass Community & Technical College offers the Summer Healthcare Success Academy to provide high school students with a comprehensive introduction to healthcare careers. This free program is held on multiple campuses including Leestown, Winchester, and Lawrenceburg, featuring two distinct camps: one for freshmen and sophomores focusing on career exploration and hands-on learning in modern simulation labs, and another for juniors and seniors that builds skills necessary for college-level healthcare studies. Activities include lectures, interactive simulations, and training on college success strategies such as note-taking and time management. The academy runs in two sessions during June and offers meals and transportation options for participants. Mandatory parent orientation meetings precede the camps to facilitate smooth participation. Funded through community and federal grants, this academy is designed to inspire and prepare students for future healthcare education and careers.
