Empowering Communities: DHS Career Workshop

Join Career Development and the Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS) for an interactive virtual experience that goes beyond the basics. Whether you're studying business, criminal justice, psychology, social work, or something else entirely—there’s a place for you at DHS.

What to Expect:
-Discover how DHS works across systems—health, housing, education, justice, and more—to improve outcomes for individuals and families in Allegheny County.
-Learn how DHS is advancing equity and supporting vulnerable populations through innovation, collaboration, and trauma-informed practices.
-Participate in a hands-on breakout activity where you’ll reimagine real-life resident experiences to promote dignity, empathy, and practical change.

No prior knowledge needed—just bring your curiosity and your desire to make a difference. You’ll also learn about internship opportunities and real career pathways with DHS, and connect directly with professionals who can help you find where you fit.
