The University of Indianapolis is accepting applications to its free Young Achievers Academy for high school students interested in exploring health care careers.

The three-week program allows students to participate in interactive presentations led by health care professionals. They’ll also complete career-preparation activities, such as resume and cover letter writing, mock interviews and a final presentation. 

Interested students can apply online and finalists will complete a 15-minute virtual interview. Students will be accepted on a rolling basis.

The Young Achievers Academy will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday–Thursday from June 15-July 2 at the University of Indianapolis Health Pavilion, 1643 Hanna Ave. Lunch will be provided.
