LEWISTON – More than 100 high school and adult education students from the area learned about career opportunities in health care at a job fair sponsored by Central Maine Healthcare and Lewiston Regional Technical Center earlier this month
The job fair was held at the LRTC campus.
For two days, CMH health care experts staffed booths and spoke with more than 100 high school and adult education students. Team members shared their career experiences and educational backgrounds and offered important behind-the-scenes information about the benefits of working in health care at CMH.
“Central Maine Healthcare has always been a very supportive community partner,” said LRTC Director Rob Callahan. “I think the opportunities they offer to students are rich and provide a meaningful pathway that we’re excited to introduce them to.”
LRTC students were among those who attending to inquire about positions in nursing and other health care professions.
“The students loved it,” said Rachel Storck, health occupations instructor at LRTC and a former CMMC nurse. “They felt super engaged. They loved that they could ask any question. People were really engaged in wanting to help them.”
The job fair is among several initiatives Central Maine Healthcare has taken over the past year to address shortages in nursing and other health care fields. CMH also recently announced a tuition reimbursement program that pays 100% of education costs for eligible nursing and medical imaging students at the Maine College of Health Professions.
Central Maine Healthcare serves 400,000 people in central, western and Midcoast Maine, and its hospitals include Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton Hospital and Rumford Hospital. CMH also supports Central Maine Medical Group, a primary and specialty care practice organization; Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute, Central Maine Oncology Institute, Central Maine Primary Care, Orthopaedic Institute of Central Maine, Central Maine Trauma and Surgery Center, LifeFlight of Maine and other clinical services.
