FAQ

Will the program guarantee that I get a new job?

No - our goal is to do everything that we can to support you in pursuing a career track job with Ascension, but we still need you to be a qualified and motivated candidate.

I am not an Ascension, TouchPoint, or Ascension contracted employee, can I still apply?

Unfortunately, no. At this time we are prioritizing current Ascension, TouchPoint, and Ascension contracted employees who are in good standing and who are eligible to pursue career track positions.
