Career Resource Kit for Private Hospitals
Date Monday, June 25, 2007 Time 14:43
PHAQ is proud to announce the imminent release of its Career Resource Kit - Grow with a Career in Private Health Care - Caring for Others Rewarding Yourself which will be released in late July 2007.

The Career Resource Kit has been developed to provide private hospitals with a generic multimedia resource to promote career opportunities within the private hospital sector to high school students, at university open days and other similar expos.

Housed in a presentation folder, the kit includes a 10 minute DVD profiling the size and scope of the private sector nationally and footage of all major areas in a private hospital. Suporting the DVD is an A2 poster, on one side featuring career pathways, opportunities and benefits, the other extracts from student and staff interviews and a list of career resources for each state and territory.

Also included is a CD containing an A4 version of the poster which hospitals may duplicate, suggestions for use and a sample powerpoint template for hospitals to customise or brand their student presentations whilst linking to the theme of the resource kit.

The kit does not feature any identifying logos or buildings so it may be used by any facility, to be supplemented with individual hospital information.

Cost for non-members is $385 for the initial kit with bulk orders for individual components priced at just over the cost of reproduction.

For further information or to request an order form please click the Contact Us icon on the main menu and send a webmail message to PHAQ.
