Summer Youth Training

Why Attend Our Summer Youth Employment Program?


Our Summer Youth Program is so much more than just a summer job—it's a whole VIBE!


But most importantly: we have an absolute Blast every summer...


Welcome to the Nursing Detroit Pre-Apprenticeship Program! This 6-week summer work/training initiative is specifically designed to guide Detroit's youth, aged 16-24, as they navigate the vast landscape of healthcare career options. The program proudly operates under the banner of the Grow Detroit's Young Talent Program. Over a span of just 6 weeks, participants get an immersive introduction to the nursing profession, experiencing robust, in-person, hands-on training that brings theoretical concepts to life.


Furthermore, we take learning beyond the classroom. Trainees have the exclusive opportunity to embark on talent tours at esteemed local hospitals and nursing homes. This experience allows them a genuine and realistic perspective of the healthcare industry, setting the stage for informed career choices in the future.


  • Hands-on learning with real healthcare professionals: students work directly with experienced nurses, respiratory therapists, and phlebotomists, gaining practical skills in a real-world setting.
  • Early exposure to high-demand healthcare careers: Discover diverse roles in the healthcare field, offering students a head start on a career path that's both stable and impactful.
  • Offer Industry Insights: Through talent tours and interactions with professionals, participants gain a comprehensive view of the healthcare sector.
  • Engaging activities that make learning fun and memorable: Each day is filled with interactive exercises, role-play, and teamwork, making complex healthcare concepts accessible and enjoyable.
  • Empower Through Knowledge: By understanding the various roles in nursing, participants can make informed decisions about their future careers.
  • A unique experience to set students apart on college and job applications: With practical experience and specialized knowledge, students stand out to future colleges and employers, highlighting their commitment to healthcare and service.
  • Skill-building to boost confidence and readiness for the future: Students develop essential skills like critical thinking, communication, and hands-on techniques, all of which build a strong foundation for future success.
  • Foster a Community: Trainees join a supportive network of peers and mentors, setting the foundation for long-term professional relationships.


The world of nursing is vast and filled with opportunities. At Nursing Detroit, we're passionate about lighting the path for our youth, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and experiences to embark on rewarding healthcare careers.
