The Return Strong Virtual Job Fair, hosted by the Missouri Office of Workforce Development (OWD) will take place Tuesday, December 22, featuring over 75 Central Region employers in the healthcare field.
The virtual job fair is specifically seeking job candidates to fill entry-level clinical and non-clinical positions throughout Missouri, and is being held in partnership with the Missouri Hospital Association.
Healthcare organizations across the Central Region are seeking immediate caring and compassionate team members to fill a variety of positions.
“The demand for workers at health care facilities across the state is huge,” said Mardy Leathers, director of workforce development. “It’s clear that employers are ready to hire – we just need more job seekers to fill these positions. We hope by getting the word out, we can connect candidates to these valuable career options.”
