School at Work (SAW) is the premier career development system for entry-level workers in the healthcare industry. Its two pillar approach combines education with career planning. SAW’s blended-learning instructional model delivers continuing education on-site at the employer location. Over 400 hospitals nationwide have used SAW as part of their career ladder system.

SAW students are employed in entry-level office, nursing dietary, housekeeping, and environmental services positions. The majority is female, 25-50 years of age, and possesses a high school diploma. They are loyal and want to “do better”, but lack confidence and need a career plan and additional education to advance within their organization. School at Work is a bridge program that prepares these employees for better-paying jobs and for entrance to local community colleges.
