Your State Is Missing the Healthcare Workforce Revolution
Thirteen states already have the competitive advantage you're leaving on the table
While your neighboring states train healthcare workers in ten weeks, your graduates spend four years accumulating debt for jobs that may not exist when they finish.
I'm Anthony Newton, founder of Kaduceus. We've placed healthcare career training in 111 locations across 13 states. The results speak for themselves: students graduate with diplomas and immediate employment prospects. Adults retrain in ten weeks for careers paying $35,000-$50,000 starting salaries.
Your state's absence from our network isn't just an oversight—it's an economic disadvantage.
Over five million healthcare jobs need filling in the next two years. Baby boomers are aging into the largest healthcare demand surge in American history. States with Kaduceus programs are positioning their citizens to capture this economic opportunity. States without us are training workers for yesterday's economy.
Here's what Betty Brown taught me in Houston: exposure plus opportunity equals transformation. She put me in a health co-op program that changed my trajectory from poverty to prosperity. By 21, I was the youngest professor at Corinthian College. By 25, I had founded Kaduceus to scale that transformation statewide.
The model works because it's practical. We partner with your existing school districts through train-the-trainer programs. Your teachers learn our standardized curriculum. Your students graduate job-ready. No new buildings. No massive capital investments. Maximum impact with minimal friction.
For adults, we establish career training centers offering free ten-week programs. Last month, a 67-year-old graduated and immediately got hired as a medical assistant. We serve ages 18 to 67 because economic mobility shouldn't have expiration dates.
Your state's career and technical education director knows the gaps in your workforce pipeline. Your governor's office tracks employment statistics and economic development opportunities. Your business leaders see the talent shortage in healthcare services.
They're all waiting for someone to connect the dots.
The pathway is straightforward. Contact your state's career and technical education director. Present the Kaduceus model. Demonstrate the economic impact in our existing states. Show them the competitive disadvantage of being left behind.
For adult career training, engage your workforce development offices, your governor's economic development team. Present the case for immediate job placement and wage growth.
This isn't just workforce development—it's political opportunity. Which governor gets credit for solving their state's healthcare worker shortage? Which state attracts healthcare businesses because of their trained workforce? Which educational leader transforms their state's graduation outcomes?
Every state has elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, then community colleges and universities. We fill the critical gap between graduation and career readiness. We are the bridge your state is missing.
Thirteen states have this advantage. Thirty-seven do not.
The medical symbol Kaduceus represents healing. We heal the disconnect between education and employment, between potential and prosperity, between students and meaningful careers.
Your state's absence isn't permanent unless you choose to make it so.
The question isn't whether healthcare career training belongs in your state. Five million job openings answer that. The question is whether you'll lead the effort to bring it home or watch neighboring states capture the economic opportunity.
Contact your career and technical education director this week. Present the Kaduceus model. Make your state part of the solution.
The competitive advantage is real. The opportunity is immediate. The decision is yours.
