Close talent gaps before they become care gaps.

Partnering with Guild doesn’t replace your existing relationships — it enhances them. Many healthcare organizations already have strong ties to local schools, but even those robust pipelines often aren’t enough to meet current and future workforce needs. 

Guild helps you scale and strengthen your talent strategies by serving as the connective tissue between your people, your goals, and the right education and training solutions. We help you:

• Expand access beyond local schools by offering programs from a curated and vetted network of high-quality academic and training providers, broadening options while maintaining alignment with licensure and credentialing requirements

• Align learning with workforce strategy by making sure programs are accessible, leveraged, and tied to real roles within your organization

• Support frontline and clinical staff with career pathways built for the realities of healthcare 

• Deliver measurable outcomes with insights that go beyond enrollment metrics and into retention, ROI, internal mobility, and readiness to step into critical roles

• Reduce administrative lift through end-to-end support, from coaching to program enrollment and engagement to outcomes tracking

The Learning Marketplace includes a range of healthcare programs designed to support talent across the entire care continuum, from entry-level roles to advanced clinical and leadership pathways, including:

• Patient care and clinical training including CMA, CNA, LPN, RN-to-BSN, and BSN degrees

• Allied health, such as medical assisting, phlebotomy, respiratory tech, pharmacy tech, radiologic tech, and more

• Healthcare administration, including healthcare management, billing and coding, and compliance

• Pre-nursing and bridge programs that help employees move from skill-adjacent roles into licensed clinical careers

• Leadership and soft skills tailored for clinical and non-clinical staff

Guild is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), which means we’re a for-profit organization with a legal obligation to balance the interests of shareholders with the broader impact we create for employees, employers, and society.

That means our business model is entirely outcomes-based: organizations partner with Guild to design and fund education, skilling, training, and career mobility programs for their workforce. Employees gain access to a curated marketplace of learning options, often with little-to-no out-of-pocket cost, along with wraparound support like coaching and self-serve resources to equip them with career-relevant skills and knowledge.

Rather than charging individuals, we work directly with employers who are investing in talent development to solve urgent workforce needs, from filling critical roles to improving retention and advancing equity.

We see local school partnerships as foundational, and we often help deepen those relationships by aligning them more closely with your workforce strategy. 

Here’s how we work to extend local partnerships:

• Strategic alignment: We help ensure your existing school partners are offering programs that map to your role demand, and that those programs are accessible to clinical and non-clinical staff members as working learners

• Marketplace integration: If local partners meet Guild’s quality and accessibility standards, we can work with them to bring their offerings into Guild’s marketplace, expanding visibility and reach

• Infrastructure and support: We add wraparound services like coaching and learner engagement tools to help your employees succeed in local programs

• Scalable access: We complement local offerings with additional programs across a national provider network, helping fill gaps where local capacity or licensure options are limited

Guild is a talent and workforce transformation partner, helping healthcare organizations invest in learning as a means to a business-critical end: building, retaining, and advancing your workforce and talent pipeline.

We help make education investments more strategic by:

• Tying learning directly to role demand so programs lead into the roles you need to fill, from licensed clinical roles to leadership

• Optimizing your existing spend by focusing on programs that are accessible, high-quality, and aligned to credentialing and licensure pathways

• Providing wraparound support like coaching and learner resources to drive real participation and completion, not just access

• Delivering data and insight into how learning translates to measurable outcomes and ROI

Guild partners see measurable impact across talent pipelines, retention, mobility, and cost savings.

Here’s what that looks like by the numbers:

• Guild has helped move more than 11K employees into high-demand healthcare roles over the past five years 

• Health systems that work with Guild observe that nurses enrolled in the Guild program average 50% lower turnover rates than their peers

• Guild healthcare learners are 2.9x more likely to experience internal mobility. 

• Guild healthcare learners who transitioned into a registered nurse (RN) role experienced an estimated collective change in their earnings of nearly $56 million, setting them on a path to greater economic opportunity
