MedCerts, a leader in online healthcare and IT career training and a Stride, Inc. company, is proud to announce a new partnership with Apprenti, a national leader in registered apprenticeship programs. Together, they’re expanding access to Registered Apprenticeships in high-demand life science fields and helping employers across the country connect talent with skilled, job-ready workforces.

The collaboration between MedCerts and Apprenti will produce on-the-job learning and mentorship opportunities in critical roles such as Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, EKG Technician, Sterile Processing Technician and Surgical Technologist.

The partnership brings together two proven leaders in workforce development to make apprenticeship programs more accessible, scalable, and affordable. Participating employers will be able to launch and sustain Registered Apprenticeships, programs approved and validated by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency. The Life Science Registered Apprenticeship programs will combine paid, on-the-job training with classroom learning to help apprentices gain the skills they need to launch careers in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and other life science fields.

”Our goal is to open more doors for people to enter the industry through paid apprenticeships and to help employers build a workforce that’s prepared for the fast-changing demands of the industry, driving retention for their organizations,” said Daniel Weagle, Director of Life Science Strategy at Apprenti.
