BRIDGING THE 10 MILLION HEALTH WORKER GAP

THROUGH CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION

The healthcare industry is facing a critical shortage, with an estimated 10 million workers needed by 2032. Career and Technical Education (CTE) is essential in addressing this gap by equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge for healthcare careers.

WHY CTE MATTERS:

• Real-World Experience: CTE programs provide hands-on training and internships through partnerships with local healthcare institutions, giving students practical experience and access to advanced equipment.
• Industry-Recognized Credentials: Offering certifications and dual credit programs, CTE ensures students are well-prepared and competitive in the job market.
• Job-Readiness: Collaboration with employers helps align CTE courses with industry expectations, ensuring graduates are ready to meet the demands of the healthcare field.

By preparing students through comprehensive CTE programs, we can significantly reduce the healthcare worker shortage and ensure a robust workforce for the future.
