How Scholarships Can Fight America’s Healthcare Shortages
About this episode
The episode discusses how scholarships and employer partnerships can help address America's healthcare shortages.
America's healthcare shortages across nursing and allied health roles are reaching a critical point, with a projected shortage of nearly three million workers across all healthcare roles in just the next few years. Today’s guest, Tess Michaels , the founder and CEO of Clasp , joins host Jason Altmire to discuss how her organization is working to address those shortages through scholarships and employer partnerships. Clasp connects employers and students by offering tuition repayment benefits in exchange for a commitment to work for that employer after graduation, reducing turnover and recruitment costs for businesses while lowering the financial risk of training for high-earning healthcare fields. Jason and Tess also discuss how new federal student loan caps may threaten access to advanced healthcare degrees. To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.
