ALUMNI JOB BOARD HAS FRESH LOOK AND NEW POSITIONS
Institutional Advancement is thrilled to announce the newly redesigned PCOM Alumni Job Board. This web-based resource allows employers to post positions of interest to graduates of all of PCOM’s programs and shares job listings in a streamlined and organized way. The board features openings at organizations across the country, and jobs that are posted by PCOM alumni-owned enterprises have a special notation. The job opportunities are varied and include traditional positions in health and behavioral health, as well as several that provide unique ways to utilize the training and education received at PCOM. Institutional Advancement is partnering with several leading healthcare organizations, including Havas Health & You, a unified healthcare communications agency specializing in digital marketing and advertising, and Oxeon Partners, a healthcare growth services firm. About working with PCOM, Cheryl Fielding, group president of Havas Health & You, said, “As competition increases for certain skillsets, employers must get more creative about searching for talent. Forming direct relationships with fantastic institutions like PCOM is a win-win for companies and alumni. PCOM is a welcome partner for Havas Health, given its rich collection of programs, and its geographical reach.” Submit a job opening or search the current listings today at alumni.pcom.edu/jobboard.
