Healthcare organizations face an urgent, system-wide challenge: how to staff smarter, grow internal talent, and build long-term capacity without relying on outdated or siloed approaches. This keynote introduces a modern workforce model - one that Workforce Edge powers end-to-end. From sourcing job-ready candidates through Ready to Hire, to identifying the right training and credentialing pathways, to supporting internal career progression with targeted education, Workforce Edge enables healthcare systems to unify recruitment, development, and retention under one strategic framework. It’s not about a single provider or academic track - it’s about connecting the entire healthcare talent ecosystem to the right learning solutions, at the right time, for measurable business and patient care impact. In this session, you’ll explore: 

• How to evolve from reactive hiring to a proactive, precision-driven talent strategy that reduces turnover and fills high-impact roles from within. 
• The hidden power of your existing tuition assistance policy – including how to fund full credential pathways within the $5,250 annual IRS limit. 
• Why Gen Z and early-career workers are demanding hands-on, debt-free, career-aligned education – and how healthcare organizations can meet them where they are. 
• What leading employers are doing right now to create seamless, measurable career pathways that tie directly to workforce readiness, access to development, and patient care goals.
