Program Description
The Hutch Career Awareness Network (HutchCAN) is designed for 10-12th grade high school students from our partner organizations: MESA, El Centro de la Raza, Urban League and Boys and Girls Clubs of King County.
The goal of the program is to give participants an overview of the wide range of careers at Fred Hutch and how each role is part of Fred Hutch’s mission to cure and prevent cancer and infectious disease.
The eight-week program includes weekly two-hour sessions during the spring. Each week, students tour areas of Fred Hutch and talk to professionals from different career paths who play an important role in the work of the organization.
Students will explore career paths including biostatistics, clinical research support, diagnostic and therapeutic services, nutrition and exercise physiology, occupational health and safety, health promotion and education, law, administrative support, public policy, fundraising and development, maintenance and operations and more.
