The Jefferson Workforce Development Program, facilitated in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia and Esperanza College, aims to address healthcare staffing shortages while creating career pathways for young Philadelphians. Targeting high school students, the program includes clinical shadowing, didactic and skills training, and professional development support. Students gain hands-on experience during school hours at no cost and receive mentorship and resume/interview coaching from Jefferson’s Human Resources team. Upon completion of the program, they are eligible for full-time roles across the Jefferson Health system. Key program benefits include free training, career readiness resources, exposure to real clinical environments, and financial support for essential workforce expenses.
