I love the opportunities they give for the medical field especially. Edward M Kennedy helps you get a foot in the door in the medical field. They help you get your CNA license and also connect you with hospital jobs. EMK is very good at finding opportunities.The only thing EMK should become is more organized and even more focus on there students and there needs. Also having more of the college experience style by doing internship that helps you with the major you want to be in, in college and not only the health field. EMK truly is a good school!
Edward M Kennedy for health careers academy is a great school for any student that wants to go down the health field pathway. There are many opportunities where we as students can be involved in hospitals and see how things really work. The high school really sets a standard for it students and they really want all of us to achieve the goal of graduating and being involved in things that we feel passionate about. The staff is always helping us with whatever we need help with inside and outside of school. The school is honestly a family, once your in the school you’re apart of a pack that you’ll have for life.
I really loved everything about EMK. They really support you in everything you do so that you can succeed. They make sure that you are on top if your school work and that brings comfort. They help you with finding jobs, internahips, good colleges, and programs for you to join. Adding on to that, they are partnered with many colleges, companies, and other groups; the connections that they have will help you. Time flies by so fast and I’m really sad that it’s coming to an end. That’s how great EMK is.
