Wilkinsburg Kiwannis Share Passion for Investing in Our Region's Workforce

Thanks to the Wilkinsburg Kiwannis for giving HCPI the opportunity to share the "Talent Trapeze" presentation this afternoon. The audience asked wonderful questions and had some exciting ideas for follow up activities. We're particularly excited about the support of the Wilkinsburg school administrators who were in attendance. It's through these generous ideas and support that HCPI is able to improve workforce development in Southwest PA. We look forward to the start of a new school year and many more presentations about career-exploration opportunities in our region.

In the UK, Healthcare Jobs are Dreamy

A survey released by Great Britian's Skills Council lists the top "dream jobs" of both kids and adults. Interestingly, medical professions such as physician and nurse were more popular than entertainment or sports jobs. (And this comes from a country with lower wages for medical professions!)
