The future of health care is now!

The goal of Health Care Industry Week is to highlight the benefits and opportunities for employment and training in New Jersey’s growing health care industry. In addition, the New Jersey Health Care Talent Network (NJ HCTN) and our partners will provide insight and information on NJ healthcare industry, with specific focus on the Nursing workforce and education, to over 2,000 NJ state residents.

NJ Health Care Industry Week’s Opening Ceremony will include:

  • Keynote speeches from distinguished experts within the medical industry and educational field.
  • Panelists of experienced nurses will discuss workforce demands, challenges and highlights of a career in nursing.
  • Displays and presentations from vendors and NJ Health Care Industry Week partners.
  • A medical village hosted by Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, will provide health screenings, video casts, and information.

HCTN invites you to showcase your organization’s services by providing educational information, screenings, or health awareness activities; or if your company is looking to hire, you can participate in our job fair. Participation in Industry Week is free!
