Arthrex Career Showcase for High School Students

Arthrex, the global leader in minimally invasive orthopedic surgical devices, invited all local high school juniors and seniors to their headquarters located in Naples to learn about what career opportunities might be available to them following graduation. Students also learned about internships and co-ops offered at Arthrex while completing their undergraduate or graduate degrees. 

According to the internship and co-op brochures given to attendees, Arthrex has hired more than 650 employees since November 2018. In addition to the global headquarters located in Naples, Florida they also have a regional headquarters in Munich, Germany and Singapore, as well as additional subsidiaries and locations in Latin America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Arthrex also has four manufacturing facilities in the U.S located in Ave Maria, Florida; Santa Barbara, California; City of Industry, California; and Sandy Springs, South Carolina.

Upon arrival, attendees received a map that helped to guide them through the showcase, which includes the opportunity to interact with professionals in different departments across Arthrex. The map separates departments into different auditoriums with tables delegated to each specialized area. Students were also able to try Arthrex’s innovative technologies through interactive medical device displays.

With over 6,000 global employees, Arthrex offers career opportunities in all fields including: Engineering, Product Management, National Sales, Information Technology, Finance, Manufacturing, Medical Education/Medical Affairs, Legal, Compliance, Operations, Orthopedic Research, Quality, Regulatory, Human Resources, Marketing, Meetings and Events, Communications, and Culinary.

The career showcase provides students with the unique opportunity to explore their specialized area of interest and communicate with real employees from those fields. The Arthrex employees are extremely helpful in providing their insight and what their job position entails. In addition to career paths, Arthrex also encourages students to apply to the limited number of internships, co-op and job shadow opportunities in a variety of departments throughout the year.

The Arthrex Career showcase was a great opportunity that allowed local students to meet the Arthrex team, learn what skills and experience are needed in specific areas of interest, and discover careers they did not think would be available to them in Southwest Florida.
