Building Careers: MGH offers advancement tools

Education has long been a cornerstone of the MGH foundation. Not only is the hospital committed to teaching future clinicians, but it also provides educational opportunities to other employees who want to advance their careers.

The MGH recently hosted a college and career fair to help employees make informed decisions about furthering their education. More than 250 MGHers attended the fair, which was sponsored by MGH Training and Workforce Development and Human Resources. Left, MGHers receive education information at the career fair.

Representatives from local colleges were on hand to offer information about admission requirements and financial aid, and MGH Human Resources staff members were available to talk about job opportunities and training needed to qualify for specific jobs at the hospital. Information also was available about tuition reimbursement and MGH scholarship programs.
