RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Stride, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of online and blended education programs, announces its 2nd of a 4-part webinar series called My Career Connections, as a way for high school students nationwide to learn and apply for open opportunities with industry-leading hiring partners.
This live online series will put students in front of major organizations for a shot at over 50,000 potential opportunities that include internships, externships, actual entry-level jobs, and more.
This week’s collaboration is with CVS Health. Students are invited to register for the session with CVS Health now. It will take place February 24th at 11:00 AM Eastern.
Students will hear directly from hiring managers and company representatives on how to search, apply, and interview for open opportunities, find associated career paths in different fields, and have the chance to ask questions. Some sessions during the live event will be led by Stride’s Success Coaches, where they will help students prepare their resumes, interview successfully, and be a standout candidate for placement opportunities with CVS Health.
“As the nation’s leading healthcare solutions company, we are always on the lookout for great talent. Collaborating with Stride and Tallo on this webinar series allows students to find out more information and ensures that this is a career path they truly want to take. When we get someone dedicated to these positions, it’s really a win-win for us all,” said Ernest Dupont, Executive Director of Workforce Initiatives at CVS Health.
“We are excited to connect students and young adults interested in healthcare-related opportunities with a leader like CVS Health,” says Dr. Sherri Wilson, Director, Partnership Development, Stride, Inc. “When employers connect with Gen Z early, they are building a pipeline of early talent for their future workforce and showing them rewarding career opportunities in a high-demand field.”
Event attendees will also receive several tool kits they can download from each session packed with more information about the hiring partners, additional tips for applying, and more free resources as they explore opportunities. And they will learn how to create a free online profile on Tallo, the nation’s premier online platform for connecting students with opportunities, to get automatically matched to future opportunities, employers, colleges, and other tools and content to prepare them for career-related opportunities.
