Manor College Offers Free Resources to Former Crozer Health Employees
The institution is giving former Crozer employees tuition-free summer classes and free access to Manor College’s Career Services.
JENKINTOWN – In response to the closure of Crozer Health in Delaware County, Manor College plans to help former employees facing a difficult transition.
Starting immediately, Manor College is offering former Crozer employees tuition-free summer classes at Manor College, the majority of which take place online. In addition, former employees will have free access to Manor College’s Career Center, including resume writing, job postings, mock interviews and more. Further details on the offerings can be found at www.manor.edu/crozer.
“We understand that the corporate direction Crozer took through its owners leaves some 2,600+ employees without a job,” said Dr. Jonathan Peri, President of Manor College, “We have many students from Delaware County already and there’s no reason we can’t help train, further educate and assist with the employment of former Crozer employees. Indeed, we see it as linked to our mission to be supportive of our greater workforce community when the times get tough and we have the capacity to assist, and that’s why we’re lending a hand. As our patron, Saint Basil the Great said, ‘Be generous, and use whatever is left over from real needs, to do good’.”
For those with questions, Manor College will be attending a Crozer Health Former Employee Job Fair on May 13 at Subaru Park in Chester. Those with additional questions are asked to email academicservices@manor.edu or call (215) 884-2218.
Prospect Medical Holdings, the parent company of Delaware County’s largest hospital system, announced the closing of Crozer Health last month. The system currently employs nearly 3,000 people, including more than 1,900 at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, according to WHYY.
