Company mission
Stepful is on a mission to create economic opportunity for one million job seekers in healthcare.
Our take
Healthcare is the fastest growing industry in the US, accounting for roughly 40% of all new jobs. Stepful wants to facilitate entry to these jobs by providing the training needed for anyone to become a medical assistant, pharmacy technician, phlebotomist, or similar.
Through Stepful's programs, anyone with a high school education can train to enter the healthcare field. Training takes 4 months, and includes both online training and clinical hours, as well as preparation for trainees to achieve certification. For its current courses, the company boasts certification rates of 85% and placement rates of 80% and higher, which is testament to the quality of its programs.
With new funding secure in 2023, Stepful is aiming to expand across the nation and introduce new training programs as it rises to meet the growing demand for healthcare workers. It has already graduated over 1000 students, who report an average 25% increase in income - and stands ready to make a real impact to both the short-of-staff industry and would-be workers alike.
