Building a more robust nursing talent pipeline

Nurses represent more than 20% of the healthcare workforce yet, the region’s current nursing education system simply doesn’t graduate enough students to meet demand.

Workforce Innovation has been working with regional partners to increase the number of students graduating from high school and post-secondary programs with nursing credentials. Together, we formed the Southwest Ohio Healthcare Education and Workforce Coalition, and are fully committed to expanding access, promoting nursing career pathways, and increasing the diversity of our nursing workforce.

Additionally, Workforce Innovation is working with our employer and education partners to increase our region’s nursing educators.

Solving healthcare workforce issues that can only be solved collectively

 

One of our primary activities is convening healthcare employers, educators, and community organizations to support the viability of our healthcare systems and their future needs for healthcare talent. 

Together, we remove barriers and limitations by identifying and addressing underlying issues that constrict access to and success in earning healthcare credentials and degrees.

We focus on increasing program availability and capacity, aligning pathways, and addressing licensure concerns; improving and growing healthcare career exploration opportunities for middle and high school students; and convening partners to develop, launch, and share solutions that build and retain regional healthcare talent.
