MedCerts and Snagajob to reskill thousands of workers nationwide
for in-demand healthcare and IT jobs
MedCerts, a leader in online career certification training, is
partnering with Snagajob, America’s largest platform for hourly
work, to prepare unemployed and low-income workers to step into
gainful employment across 33 U.S. states.
The “MedCerts + Snagajob = Dream Career” program has a goal of
assisting participants in completing certification training and
starting new careers in healthcare and IT fields. Through
collaboration with local workforce development boards and career
centers, participants will be able to complete career training at
no cost.
Snagajob has over 700,000 employer partners in the U.S. and
Canada, connecting its 100 million registered job seekers with
potential employment opportunities, services, and partnerships
nationwide. MedCerts offers over 40 online training programs that
lead to national certification in the industries of healthcare and
IT.
“This collaboration with Snagajob is a natural extension of
MedCerts’s mission to help individuals reskill and pursue
high-growth careers,” said Jason Aubrey, CEO of MedCerts. “We look
forward to making these in-demand skills accessible to Snagajob’s
vast network of job-seekers looking for their next career
opportunity, and to getting people back to work in high-wage and
in-demand jobs.”
With healthcare occupations projected to grow 16% and IT
occupations to grow 13% by 2030, this innovative partnership will
bring together key players in the upskilling and employment
assistance arenas. Snagajob will refer thousands of eligible job
seekers to MedCerts programs based on individual needs and career
goals, including dislocated workers, active-duty Army, National
Guard, and Army Reserve members, military spouses, SNAP and TANF
participants, migrant or seasonal workers, youth (16-24 years of
age), and more.
“Our vision is to empower people to design a work plan that
makes their individual life goals attainable—through full time,
part time and on-demand jobs and via skills training and
advancement opportunities. We are excited to partner with MedCerts
and offer our job-seekers incredible opportunities through
certification training,” said Andrea Barger, Snagajob’s Vice
President of Marketing. “This collaboration will help workers
level-up their skills and expand their potential in a big step
towards a meaningful, fulfilling career.”
