PENNSYLVANIA, USA — UPS is holding its annual UPS Brown Friday hiring event across the country, and two locations in our area will be hiring more than 1,700 people for the holiday season.
UPS is holding its Brown Friday event at both its Carlisle and Harrisburg locations.
The event includes in-person hiring fairs, virtual events, and more for applicants to find a job that may fit them.
Jobs available include driver helpers, package handlers, and seasonal drivers.
UPS says that seasonal positions are often a foot-in-the-door to a full-time position, with 37% of seasonal workers getting permanent jobs after the holidays.
The company also said via a press release that 123,000 UPS employees or nearly a third of the company's U.S. workforce, began in seasonal positions.
