NC Career Launch Healthcare Accelerator

The NC Career Launch Healthcare Accelerator, hosted by the North Carolina Business Committee for Education and Jobs for the Future, is designed to support the development of high school pre-apprenticeship programs that lead directly into registered apprenticeships after graduation. This approach offers a proven pathway to grow and retain a locally trained healthcare workforce. The accelerator brings together secondary, post-secondary, and industry stakeholders to explore effective models and practices from the field. By combining information sharing with collaborative planning, the event culminates in a working session focused on developing actionable strategies to strengthen talent development pipelines in healthcare and direct care sectors.
