UPS Aims to Hire 60,000 At ‘UPS Brown Friday’ Events Nationwide
02 Novembre 2021 - 3:00PM
- Three-day hiring blitz takes place November 4-6
- Virtual and in-person job fairs will be held in company
locations nationwide
UPS (NYSE: UPS) announced today that it expects to hire at least
60,000 seasonal employees this Thursday through Saturday, in its
annual ‘UPS Brown Friday’ events at company locations across the
country.
Nearly a month before Black Friday and Cyber
Monday officially kick off the holiday shopping season, the UPS
Brown Friday event includes more than 400 local hiring events as
well as virtual events on UPSJobs.com/BrownFriday that will support
more than 1,200 locations across the U.S. The hiring weekend is
part of its broader effort, announced last month, to hire seasonal
workers to support its annual holiday shipping rush.
“UPS Brown Friday has become an annual
tradition,” said Chief Human Resources Officer Darrell Ford. “For
tens of thousands of Americans, it’s an opportunity to land one of
the country’s best seasonal jobs, with the potential to turn into a
career. Many of those who attend one of our job fairs through
Saturday will be hired by Monday, and many of those hired will be
offered permanent jobs when the holidays are over.”
Full- and part-time seasonal positions –
primarily package handlers, drivers, and driver-helpers – have long
been an entry point for permanent employment at UPS. Over the last
three years, about a third of those hired by UPS for seasonal
package handler jobs were later hired in a permanent position when
the holidays were over, and about 138,000 UPS employees – nearly a
third of the company’s U.S. workforce – started in seasonal
positions.
UPS is offering current employees $200 for every
eligible employee referral they submit. A list of local hiring
events, as well as information about the company’s virtual hiring
information sessions, is available here. Those who are unable to
attend a hiring fair can still apply easily online, at
UPSjobs.com.
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.
