UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced today that it expects to hire over
100,000 seasonal employees to support the anticipated annual
increase in package volume that will begin in October 2020 and
continue through January 2021.
“We’re preparing for a record peak holiday season. The COVID-19
pandemic has made our services more important than ever,” said
Charlene Thomas, Chief Human Resources Officer. “We plan to hire
over 100,000 people for UPS’s seasonal jobs, and anticipate a large
number will move into permanent roles after the holidays. At a time
when millions of Americans are looking for work, these jobs are an
opportunity to start a new career with UPS.”
The company is filling full- and part-time seasonal positions –
primarily package handlers, drivers, driver-helpers, and personal
vehicle drivers – by offering competitive wages across multiple
shifts in thousands of locations across the country.
Over the last three years, about 35% of people hired by UPS for
seasonal package handler jobs were later hired in a permanent
position when the holidays were over, and about 123,000 UPS
employees – nearly a third of the company’s U.S. workforce –
started in seasonal positions.
That opportunity for a permanent job is important to many.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of seasonal hires want their job to
turn into a long-term position, according to a recent survey of
Americans who hold, held or would consider a seasonal job.*
Through the company’s Earn and Learn program, eligible seasonal
employees who are students can earn up to $1,300 towards college
expenses, in addition to their hourly pay, for three months of
continuous employment. UPS has invested nearly $670 million in
tuition assistance – nearly $30 million a year since the program
was established in 1997 – helping over 300,000 employees pay for
their college education.
Interested applicants should apply at www.upsjobs.com.
Permanent UPS jobs – including part-time jobs – come with great
pay and benefits, including healthcare and retirement benefits. At
many UPS locations, part-time employees are eligible to receive up
to $25,000 in tuition assistance through Earn and Learn.
