Manor College in Jenkintown announced it will be offering tuition-free summer classes to the 2,600 workers laid off by Crozer-Chester Medical Center’s closure on Friday, May 2.

Prospect Medical Holdings, the parent company of Delaware County’s largest hospital system, announced the closing of Crozer Health last month.

According to Manor’s announcement, the majority of the classes offered with be online. Former employees will have free access to Manor College’s Career Center, including resume writing, job postings, mock interviews and more.

“We understand that the corporate direction Crozer took through its owners leaves some 2,600+ employees without a job,” said Dr. Jonathan Peri, President of Manor College, “We have many students from Delaware County already and there’s no reason we can’t help train, further educate and assist with the employment of former Crozer employees. Indeed, we see it as linked to our mission to be supportive of our greater workforce community when the times get tough and we have the capacity to assist, and that’s why we’re lending a hand.  As our patron, Saint Basil the Great said, ‘Be generous, and use  whatever is left over from real needs, to do good’.”

Representatives from the college will be attending a Crozer Health Former Employee Job Fair on May 13 at Subaru Park in Chester.

In April, Manor College hosted a MontcoWorks Job Fair for workers displaced by the fire at SPS Technologies.
