Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) has partnered with MedCerts,
an online certification training provider in allied healthcare and
information technology, to offer MedCerts programs to its
students.
IWU is offering MedCerts’ most in-demand programs to eligible
students, including Medical Assistant, Surgical Technologist,
Phlebotomy Technician, Medical Billing Specialist, Sterile
Processing Technician, Pharmacy Technician, EKG Technician, and
Professional Coder.
″We’re excited to partner with IWU to bring this opportunity to
their hard-working students,” said Craig Sprinkle, CEO at MedCerts,
a Stride, Inc. company (NSYE: LRN). ″IWU students will gain access
to our nationally recognized healthcare training, creating a launch
pad for their future careers and bringing the next generation of
talent into the field when it is needed most.”
Indiana is facing a significant shortage of healthcare workers.
According to the Indiana Hospital Association, the state will need
roughly 5,000 nurses by 2031. IWU is launching this initiative as
part of the Talent Ladder platform, an innovative unit providing
training programs for working professionals and veterans focused on
the region’s fastest-growing skills and occupations, with the
potential of university credit toward degree completion for those
who successfully complete a training program.
“IWU is committed to our long history of serving students with
programs designed and tailored to help them reach their goals,”
said IWU Kevin Wachtel, Executive Director of Partnership
Development & Operations. “As the labor market continues to
evolve, our partnership with MedCerts will help us provide learners
with comprehensive and job-aligned training in the allied health
fields.”
