Have You Heard? HDA’s Career Center Is Open for Business!
Pharmaceutical supply chain professionals often speak about the greater purpose they feel knowing their careers make a daily difference in the lives of patients. Through a new Career Center, HDA is seeking to promote the many opportunities within a sector that often operates behind the scenes.
Already home to thousands of job listings, the intuitive, user-friendly platform is a one-stop shop for job seekers and employers, with plentiful resources about the value and purpose of the healthcare distribution industry.
Why a Career Center?
HDA’s pharmaceutical distributor members include Fortune 500 companies and well-established, stable, small-to-mid-sized companies that, by delivering 11 million medicines, vaccines and medical products every day, are integral to the health and vitality of the communities they serve. Despite the industry’s incredible impact, many do not know about the healthcare distribution sector and its wide-ranging career possibilities.
As the reputable association representing the industry, HDA developed the Career Center earlier this year to create awareness among graduates and established professionals — and to connect diverse, top talent with its hiring member companies. Through the partnerships HDA and our members are actively forging with academic faculty and advisors — including those from supply chain degree programs and universities for historically marginalized populations — we are creating a sustainable solution for increasing visibility of the industry as a desirable career path. Further, the resources within the portal include perspectives from employees of our member companies that reinforce this messaging and elaborate on how a career in the healthcare supply chain provides a fulfilling, ever-evolving experience.
Career Center Features
Serving a wide range of stakeholders, the Career Center offers many resources and roles.
