  • When Programs Are Full, Innovation Begins: Expanding Access to Healthcare Careers

    Tuesday, July 21 · 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM · Easton A

    Healthcare occupations across Southwest Ohio, such as Certified Nurse Aide and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, remain in high demand and critical to the regional workforce. According to Ohio’s Top Jobs data, these occupations currently have a vacancy rate of 12.4% and 12.5%, respectfully. This clearly underscores the urgent statewide and regional need for qualified, entry level healthcare professionals. Many high school students who want to pursue these occupations face significant barriers, and career centers are at capacity and are turning away students. We reimagined how to deliver in demand healthcare credentials. This session shares how Great Oaks designed and launched an innovative, student centered model that removes barriers and opens doors to high value healthcare pathways. We created new opportunities for students who otherwise would not have had the chance to earn in demand credentials. Join us to learn what’s possible when access comes first.
