The Wesley Community Hosts Job Fair March 6

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Wesley Community – a 37-acre senior living campus with more than 700 residents in Saratoga Springs – will host an in-house job fair, the first of four hiring events, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6 on the Wesley campus at 131 Lawrence St. 

Vacancies currently exist for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), Home Health Aides (HHAs), Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses and Food Service staff.

Wesley will participate in three subsequent job fairs. The next one will take place 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 28 at Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry St.

The health care industry is responsible for as much as 14% of the nation’s overall employment, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Similarly, The Administration on Aging predicts that the demand for long-term health care services will continue to grow in the U.S. in tandem with its aging population.

Wesley is currently offering Certified Nursing Assistant training classes. The first round of sessions drew more than two dozen attendees who are expected to graduate on Monday, May 6. Due to ongoing demand for CNAs, future sessions are planned. The next class begins on Monday, May 20.
