LIVONIA, MI, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MedCerts announced today it is launching new financing solutions to allow employees more opportunity to leverage their tuition reimbursement opportunities. Bringing this new solution to the marketplace will make it easier for employees to access the education needed to upskill and advance their careers while enabling MedCerts employer partners to build a more capable and competitive workforce.
This solution addresses two critical issues facing the healthcare industry today: employee retention and the skills gap. Seven in ten individuals said education provided more connection to their workplace and 90% of organizations surveyed stated that providing upskilling and education opportunities is a top retention strategy in a recent LinkedIn 2024 Workplace Learning Report. By facilitating access to advanced education, employers can offer their teams meaningful opportunities for growth, helping retain top talent and ensuring a workforce ready to meet the increasing demands of the healthcare sector.
“MedCerts is focused on closing the skills gap and increasing the number of certified healthcare professionals in the workforce,” said Jennifer Kolb, vice president of partnerships and workforce development at MedCerts. “This initiative benefits individuals looking to advance their careers and helps employers foster a loyal and highly skilled team. This is a win-win for our employer partners and their employees.”
Through this new financing program, employees can take full advantage of their employer’s tuition reimbursement benefits, making it easier to pursue certifications and qualifications that will help them advance in their healthcare careers. In turn, employers gain a significant tool for attracting, retaining and nurturing high-performing teams.
This marks another milestone for MedCerts in its mission to close skill gaps and create career pathways in high-growth industries like healthcare. With a focus on making education more accessible, MedCerts continues to play a key role in shaping a more prepared and capable workforce for the future.
