“We want to do everything we can to help the industry and those facing hardships during the COVID-19 public health crisis,” said Daniel Fabricant, PhD, president and CEO of NPA, in a press release. “Our businesses are going to stay open to serve local communities during this difficult time as more Americans are looking for ways to support their health. We thank our members for their hard work, and we will continue to provide regular updates about how we can work with policymakers as the country responds to the COVID-19 public health crisis.”
Nearly 100 job postings are being advertised for a wide range of experience levels in manufacturing, IT support, engineering, and more. Those interested in posting or accessing the job board please contact NPA at jobboard@npanational.org.
