Summary
SSM Health has launched two new registered apprenticeship programs for Surgical Technologists and Medical Assistants, supported by funding from the Apprenticeship Building America 2 grant. This initiative aims to address workforce challenges in healthcare by providing individuals with paid training and comprehensive support as they embark on their careers in the healthcare field.
The establishment of these apprenticeship programs reflects a growing commitment to workforce development in healthcare, particularly in Wisconsin. By partnering with local educational institutions and workforce development boards, SSM Health is creating pathways for aspiring healthcare professionals, ensuring they gain valuable skills while earning wages and receiving essential support services.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This development highlights the importance of registered apprenticeship programs as a viable pathway to address workforce shortages in critical sectors like healthcare. By fostering partnerships between employers, educators, and workforce leaders, such initiatives not only benefit individual apprentices but also strengthen the overall healthcare workforce.
