While many companies continue to make cuts across the board, Amtrak is saying “all aboard.”
They’re looking to hire thousands across the country, including right here in the Capital Region.
From 1:15PM to 2:45 PM Wednesday at the Albany Hilton, Amtrak will be “making a stop” and they’re hoping to make a few hires.
But travel continues to be a big priority despite the purse strings being a little tighter these days, and the job market for travel related jobs seems to reflect that.
So Amtrak is “on track” to make thousands of hires across the country.
Now, in terms of job offerings- project management, finance, technology, electrical, onboard services, customer service, just to name a few.
Amtrak PR Manager Jason Abrams says Albany is a critical city for their services, so it only makes sense to find new talent right here.
In addition, Amtrak has programs for paid internships and co-ops for both undergrad and graduate students.
"We're looking for talent and we’re going to mine it in Albany. It’s an important area for us. It’s number 8 in our top 500 stations across the the board, so it’s a really important city to us and for that we want to reflect the talent that lives locally within the area." says Abrams.
