With a variety of event styles and locations, all potential job seekers can find an event that fits their needs, from experienced professionals looking to make a change to recent graduates preparing to start their careers to high school students seeking more information about the many opportunities available in health care fields.

Find Your Fit Career Fairs

A Find Your Fit career fair will be held at each of UPMC’s hospitals in central Pennsylvania between Oct. 9 and Oct. 24 from noon to 6 p.m. Visit careers.UPMC.com/events for details on specific dates and locations.

Attendees can apply onsite, have their resumes reviewed, and meet with UPMC Human Resources representatives and hiring managers — and may be offered an onsite interview.

The event is open for those pursuing any clinical or non-clinical role at UPMC, including nursing, patient care support, laboratory, imaging technologies, pharmacy, office support, safety and security, and many more areas.

Health Care Career Nights

Health Care Career Night brings together health care departments and local colleges and universities to create an opportunity for high school students and their families to not only learn about roles in health care but discover what training or skills are needed to embark on those careers.

Health care is one of the fastest growing employment sectors in the United States. Careers can range from direct patient care, like nursing or therapy, to behind-the-scenes work in a laboratory or pharmacy, to non-clinical positions in support services and professional or administrative areas. Attendees can meet UPMC health care professionals, ask questions, learn about UPMC’s career paths and student education benefits and experience hands-on activities. All events are from 6 to 8 p.m., with more details on dates and locations available at careers.UPMC.com/events.

Although not limited to these areas, these events are focused on a variety of roles in imaging technology, laboratory, nursing, pharmacy, patient care support and allied health.
