Public Health Pathways

Learning opportunities

• Hands-on experience
• Training and discussions with subject matter experts
• Working directly with supervisors on projects and tasks 
• Developing professional relationships and connections
• Site visits and networking opportunities with partners

Partner events

We work with local partners to host events for our interns to learn more about public health career pathways. Our partners include:

• Schools
• Universities
• Organizations
• Community groups
• Neighborhood associations

Goals

We help develop entry-level positions through PHPP.

Our goals are to:

• Provide paid jobs for non-students. This helps give opportunities for people without higher education.
• Offer part-time jobs for students who are studying public health. Individuals who are interested in a degree in public health, a related field, or a non-related field are also eligible.
• Create entry-level positions with fewer barriers. This is to allow for a more diverse applicant pool.
• Prioritize hiring people who have completed a PHPP internship in the past.

Mission

Our vision is to provide individuals with an internship that:

• Introduces them to public health careers
• Offers hands-on work experience
• Allows them to explore public health career opportunities that serve Minneapolis communities
• Empowers them to bring their ideas and experiences into the public health workforce
