Workforce Initiatives

We enable our purpose of bringing our heart to every moment of your health through our team’s holistic approach to workforce development engaging longstanding partners, potential partners and future colleagues across equitable and collaborative lines of effort.

Through Workforce Initiatives, CVS Health cultivates skilled workers and quality partners aligned with our mission and values, invested in continued success and positioned to make a difference in their communities.

“As we attract new talent to CVS Health, we also help break the cycle of poverty for people who may otherwise continue down the road of dependency, which often spans generations. We recognize each person’s value and help individuals unlock their full potential through creative partnerships.” — Ernie DuPont, Senior Director Workforce Initiatives
