Webinar: Meeting Talent Shortages in the Healthcare Industry by Reskilling Workers

Upcoming: April 3rd at 2 PM ET
The demand for an educated workforce is high, especially in growing industries such as healthcare. To meet the need for workers, more employers and educational institutions are working together to raise the education levels of people already working in healthcare—with programs that reskill home healthcare assistants to work in nursing or turn LPNs into RNs. This webinar will discuss how programs that help healthcare workers attain in-demand credentials and degrees are bridging critical talent gaps in healthcare, especially nursing. -
 
Learning Outcomes: How higher ed institutions can work with employers to 1) identify demand for new skills and credentials 2) build wrap-around programs and services that help students stay consistent and graduate faster 3) provide quality career pathways for students.
