Building a Healthy Workforce: Strengthening the Talent Pipeline with Accessible Education Opportunities
The U.S. health system continues to face unprecedented workforce shortages. At the same time, employee turnover is making the situation worse. In this webinar, Suzi Talarico, Chief Nursing Officer at Providence, and the Stepful team will discuss how unlocking accessibility is the key to building a successful and competitive workforce.
There are many individuals who want to enter the healthcare field but can’t afford the time and cost of traditional training programs. For too long, our education system has struggled to prepare students for good jobs in healthcare. How do we eliminate the barriers to training and certification for entry-level healthcare roles to ensure our clinics are fully staffed? And as we reduce these barriers to entry, how do we keep rigor high and maintain industry standards to ensure our hospitals are operating at the highest level?
