Company 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. The company boasts high certification and placement rates, which is testament to the quality of its programs.
Over the years, Stepful has raised considerable funds which has supported its expansion as it works to meet the growing demand for healthcare workers. Leveraging a mix of AI and human coaches, its popularity is demonstrated by having grown its enrolees from only 50 in its first year to tens of thousands in 2024.
