A Train-and-Hire program is a partnership model between employers and training providers like MedCerts Partner Solutions. These programs take a new approach to the hiring process by eliminating your endless hunt for the right candidate. They bring targeted education and employer needs together, helping you to avoid workforce shortages and save on recruitment costs.
Do Train-and-Hire Programs Work?
Yes. These programs strengthen your core team by bringing in vetted and trained individuals who can dive into their roles from day one.
Sometimes, you may find that a candidate’s skills and knowledge don’t match with what’s on their resume. Having to start over is frustrating and prolongs the search. By setting the requirements upfront, you can step back and let a training school find and train workers for you. Once these workers graduate from the Train-and-Hire program, their skills will be fully aligned with your needs.
Avoid Workforce Shortages
You’ve seen how specialized fields like healthcare and IT often involve lengthy searches for replacements, and the pressure to fill these roles can also lead to burnout if your team is understaffed. According to a Mercer study, the healthcare industry will likely face a shortage of 100,000 workers by 2028, leading to more demand for qualified staff. Train-and-Hire is the perfect employer solution to ensuring a steady pool of trained and qualified candidates.
Save Money on Recruitment
Along with avoiding an understaffed workforce, you can reduce recruitment costs by focusing on targeted training. With a partner institution handling the search, you don’t need to spend money on traditional recruitment methods and interviews.
MedCerts’ Train-and-Hire Program
At MedCerts Partner Solutions, the Train-and-Hire program is designed to set you up for success. This model incorporates several key steps to help you effectively hire and train new employees.
Set Up the Initial Meeting
When you start your MedCerts partnership, you’ll work with the MedCerts team to identify where you need staff support. For example, you might have enough medical assistants but need more EKG Technicians, Phlebotomy Technicians and IT Helpdesk Administrators. You will have final approval on which types of workers you need.
Start the Search
MedCerts takes over and handles the recruitment process by using targeted marketing ads and social media posts to find candidates in your area. The team then sends you a narrowed list of the most suitable candidates for your approval. Once you approve the candidates, you conditionally hire them and send them for training.
Train the Team
As MedCerts students, your new hires will complete all required training and receive one-on-one support from Student Success Advisors and other instructional team members. They will also finish the program by taking nationally recognized certification exams.
Make It Official
Your new hires are now trained, certified and ready to work. It’s time to make it official and bring them on as part of your dedicated, hardworking team. You’ll also find long-term retention through the MedCerts Train-and-Hire model. In fact, Sanford Health reported an 86% retention rate for MedCerts-trained staff after two years on the payroll.
