Triad University Plans to Add Hundreds of Jobs

January 26, 2012 | Keri Brown

High Point University officials plan to add more than 100 jobs in time for this year's fall semester.

The Greensboro News and Record reports that 116 new positions include 50 faculty for undergraduate and doctoral programs, administrative staff, food service, security and athletics.

By August, the number of employees at High Point University will have grown to more than 1,100 with the addition of the new jobs. These numbers do not include hundreds of construction workers.

The number of employees at the university has tripled since 2005. Plans call for 400 more jobs in the next five years.

The university is the eighth largest employer in the city of High Point, according to the High Point Economic Development Corp., with an annual economic impact estimated at $418 million.

Jobs are currently posted on the university’s website. Additional positions will be posted throughout the year.
