Value of Upskilling and Reskilling Courses

Key Insights:

More than half of healthcare workers surveyed said they plan to take steps toward leaving their jobs within the next year. This makes retention a critical focus for employers. Offering employee training programs may help close workforce gaps, particularly since many of those surveyed said their employer didn’t invest in their career development.
Nasium Training partners with healthcare employers who support employees’ professional growth. Our upskilling and reskilling courses are designed to provide your staff with the knowledge and skills needed to perform their job duties with efficiency, compassion, and care.
Nasium Training solutions can be tailored to your unique workforce challenges and skill gaps. Some of our healthcare employee training programs are offered online, while others include a clinical component to provide your employees with hands-on practice to help boost their skill level and confidence.

A 2025 poll of healthcare workers found that 55% planned to try to find, interview for, or change jobs in 2026.¹ Combine this with Bureau of Labor Statistics projections that healthcare occupations will grow much faster than average from 2024 to 2034,² and employers can feel caught in a tug of war between workforce supply and demand. Finding ways to improve retention can help to pull the rope in your direction.

The 2025 poll provides insight into one area where healthcare organizations have the opportunity to stand out from their competitors: only one in five respondents felt their employer was invested in their long-term career growth.³ What’s the takeaway? Show your team that you’re willing to invest in their future with healthcare employee training, and they may be more willing to invest in the organization’s future in return.

Training and Workforce Retention: Making the Connection

Providing employees with access to training programs is an active sign of support for their career progression. It says you value them and want to see them succeed in their healthcare career journeys. Offering professional growth opportunities can also be seen as a form of appreciation for their hard work and commitment to your organization, and 84% of the 2025 survey respondents reported that they felt unappreciated by their employer.⁴

Filling these gaps, taking steps to invest in employees’ futures, could be the difference between them staying long-term and them looking for work elsewhere in the months ahead. Nasium Training is here to support you in your retention initiatives. We partner with healthcare organizations to provide tailored training programs that enable team members to excel in their current and/or future roles.

Upskilling and Reskilling Courses Designed for Working Healthcare Employees

Nasium Training offers upskilling and reskilling courses for both clinical and non-clinical healthcare staff. Some courses are offered 100% online, enabling employees to engage in training when it is convenient for them. Courses that include hands-on practice help employees build the clinical skills needed to feel confident in their career roles.

Implementing a workforce development plan that includes upskilling and reskilling courses enables health organizations to attack worker shortages from two vantage points:

Recruitment: Your organization may become more appealing to job searchers who are looking for an employer that prioritizes career growth and progression.
Retention: You create a workplace environment that enables current team members to obtain the training needed to advance to higher-level roles within your organization.

Nasium Training’s Approach to Healthcare Workforce Development

Nasium Training programs are created with the goal of helping health organizations address their most impactful workforce challenges. This is accomplished using a 3-pronged approach:

Train. Nasium Training helps organizations close skills gaps through tailored upskilling and reskilling programs. Upskilling provides employees with the skills needed to be more efficient and confident in their current healthcare roles. Reskilling programs prepare employees for a different role, enabling them to remain with the organization while pursuing career advancement versus leaving for a new employer.
Develop. Nasium Training programs provide employees with the resources, support, and guidance needed for professional growth and development. This creates an environment in which healthcare workers can grow and learn in a way that aligns with their career goals.
Retain. The only way to know whether your retention efforts are successful is to measure results. Nasium Training assists with this by tracking goals associated with the learners and programs. This information can help you navigate challenges.

A Future-Forward Healthcare Employee Training Model

Nasium Training not only focuses on the skills that healthcare workers need to perform their job roles today, but also on the skills needed to excel in these roles tomorrow. This future-forward training model is geared toward finding a more permanent solution to the workforce challenges healthcare organizations face in both hiring and retention.

Nasium Training courses guide working adult learners toward enhanced career growth and development. This is accomplished in coordination with you, the healthcare employer, as both entities work together to maximize the learning outcomes for your team members.
