Career Exploration Fair

There are countless pathways into the healthcare field. As the second largest hospital in Maine, we are proud to be home to hundreds of different career opportunities and specialties, some of which students may not be aware even exist. To support educating the future generation of healthcare workers, we host Career Exploration Fairs where dozens of departments come together to feature what a career with them may look like. These hands-on events are open to all local high school students, as well as educators and school administrators. To learn more about the next event, please contact Katelyn Stoddard, Volunteer & Development Manager, at kstoddard@northernlight.org
