Workforce Solutions Capital Area partners with many local healthcare employers to train and hire the workforce for this key local industry. One of our partners is Fairfield University, whose nationally ranked nursing school expanded into Austin in 2023 with its accelerated second degree nursing program. Gabby Kearney is among the first graduates of the 15-month program at the state-of-the-art campus on Shoal Creek Boulevard. 🎙️“The Student Nurse Intern Program was an invaluable experience! I am so much farther ahead than other members of my cohort who didn’t have the same opportunity, and it has given me so much more confidence as a newly graduated nursewf.”-- Gabby Kearney Read Gabby’s story: https://lnkd.in/gG5av5Q4 #atx #austintexas #austinjobs #healthcare #healthcarejobs #healthcareindustry #jobtraining #workforcedevelopment
