Healthcare employers recognize that the future workforce depends on creating education on-ramps for adults and youth who are ready to reskill or upskill into meaningful, well-paying careers. At the Summit, employers from across Vermont agreed on a shared framework for these new programs. They will target high-demand healthcare roles identified by Vermont employers and combine education sponsorship, loan repayment, and financial aid to reduce financial risk for both employers and participants. The Vermont Healthcare Collaborative/Community of Practice will guide this work to ensure Vermont’s healthcare training system remains employer-led, locally grounded, and can serve as a nationally recognized blueprint for rural healthcare workforce development. The VBR Research and Education Foundation leads employer driven workforce solutions including the Vermont Talent Pipeline initiative, which unites employers to identify design and implement education and training pathways for high-demand occupations.
