Already, InStride serves the most healthcare learners of any workforce education provider, delivering programs to 445,000 healthcare professionals – more than three times as many as the next leading competitor. The addition of two healthcare leaders to the InStride Advisory Board will bolster InStride’s position as the top choice in strategic workforce education among healthcare systems. “The first-hand experience Mark Laret and Nancy Schlichting bring as leaders of major healthcare systems will be invaluable as InStride partners with healthcare organizations to help them build the pipeline needed for improved employee, business, and patient outcomes.” “With disruption from both the pandemic and shifting care models, the healthcare sector is facing unprecedented challenges in talent attraction, retention, and readiness,” said Vivek Sharma, CEO of InStride. This added expertise will amplify InStride’s leading capability to provide strategic education programs to healthcare partners, including for high-demand clinical roles. Laret and Schlichting join George Barrett, former Chair and CEO of Cardinal Health, as healthcare leaders on the InStride Advisory Board. Both have decades of experience in the healthcare sector, with Laret being the former President and CEO of UCSF Health and Schlichting the former CEO of the Henry Ford Health System. A huge thank you to all who attended.InStride, the premier global provider of Strategic Enterprise Education TM programs, announced the addition of Mark Laret and Nancy Schlichting to the InStride Advisory Board. It was an excellent day with so much useful, practical information shared with students which was really helpful to their decision making about their future careers. Each visitor created a career focused presentation which covered many of the topics that the attending students were most interested in finding out about, including pathways into the career, skills and attributes needed, typical working day, working hours/shift pattern, what they love about their careers, challenges faced and progression routes and wages. The list of careers represented was vast and included Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, Social Worker, Mental Health Nurse, Adult Nurse, SEN Support Worker, Radiographer, Paramedic, Sonographer, Children’s Nurse, Play inclusion project and Leyland Play Scheme. The Health and Social Care department also arranged a Career Day for students, which involved a huge range of professionals from the Health and Social Care sector coming into College, to deliver sessions focussed on the variety of careers available to them when they leave Cardinal Newman. They were a credit to the College, mucking in and helping out wherever they were needed, even helping to clear up the Magician’s snow storm! It was a fantastic opportunity for all who attended to develop their professional skills, including building relationships with both staff and pupils at the school. The students assisted with games and creative activities, helping the teachers to get all of the children actively engaged in the day’s activities. Firstly, a group of 30 students went along to Aldon Primary School to support the children with their Alice in Wonderland-themed Jubilee celebrations. It has been a busy few weeks in our Health and Social Care Department, with our students getting involved in a range of career-focussed activities.
