Episode 6: The Kentucky Healthcare Workforce Collaborative
Update: 2022-07-25
Description
CPE’s Aaron Thompson and Leslie Sizemore join Rick Smith to discuss how to address the healthcare workforce shortage.
Nationally, there is a shortage of more than 1 million workers in the healthcare and social assistance fields driven by retirements and declining labor force participation. In Kentucky, the problem is compounded by a skills gap and the state’s lower than average educational attainment rate.
CPE’s Healthcare Workforce Collaborative is a first-of-its-kind partnership between colleges and universities, state agencies, the healthcare industry and the K-12 education system to address Kentucky's workforce crisis.
