PMH Recruitment Supervisor Larissa Kominko says the information sessions are open to everyone, and several health-care providers will be on hand to answer questions about specific positions and provide additional guidance on potential educational requirements.
“Health care staff shortages are impacting the entire province and country, so PMH continues to try new ways to engage our residents and communities about the many opportunities that exist right now and how people can position themselves to enter the health care field in the future. We are really excited to be able to offer these sessions and encourage anyone with questions about where to start, what your education path might entail or how to navigate the application process to attend one of
these sessions.” Kominko stated.
Kominko adds, high school or university students can also inquire about summer jobs, or year-round after school employment. Attendees are reminded to bring their resume as staff will be on hand to assist in resume building questions as well.
