Why Employers Choose Propel

A partnership with Propel solves the problems that make entry-level healthcare hiring so hard, and delivers talent built to stay.

Unreliable sourcing pipelines

Rising turnover and replacement costs

Weak retention

Propel is built to fix all three.

Local Talent That Stays

Propel recruits in the high schools, community organizations, and neighborhoods around your facilities. Talent that is local, motivated, and rooted stays because it has reason to stay, which is why retention runs well above the national average.

Ready Before Day One

Every candidate is pre-screened through a rigorous admissions process and completes professional-readiness training before they reach you, building the communication, professionalism, and accountability that entry-level hires most often lack.

Faster, Supported Onboarding

Fellows are ready to contribute on day one, and Propel coaches support both the new hire and their supervisor through the critical first months on the job.

A Team That Stays Past Hire

Propel coaches stay engaged for months after every placement, and because Fellows come from the communities you serve, they strengthen patient satisfaction and outcomes too

“RWJBarnabas Health is grateful for Propel America's partnership in building a workforce that is diverse and qualified for the healthcare roles we most urgently need to fill. Propel's fellowship program provides the flexibility students need while meeting our demands for skilled medical talent."

Propel Paths

Ways to Partner With Propel

Whether you want to grow your own pipeline or hire ready-now, there is a model that fits your organization.

Propel acts as your intermediary, connecting talent, training, and your organization.

Registered Apprenticeship

Grow your own Medical Assistants, Patient Care Technicians, Sterile Processing Technicians, and Surgical Technicians. Three components build durable talent:

On-the-job training with your on-site mentor
Accredited technical instruction and certifications, delivered by Propel
Clear wage progression as apprentices hit skill milestones

Propel covers tuition, the training partner, coaching for the apprentice and the mentor, and the registered-apprenticeship paperwork. You provide the hire, wages, and an on-site mentor.

State grants and tax credits, including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and WIOA wage reimbursement, help offset your near-term wage costs.

Propel PRODUCTS

Propel builds capacity in one or more parts of your existing pipeline.

Propel Recruit

Hire ready-now talent for one flat, predictable fee. From thousands of applicants, our sourcing, screening, and accelerator training deliver the top 1%, prepared to work on day one.

A single flat fee that runs a fraction of what it costs to source, hire, and replace entry-level talent on your own. Sourcing, screening, and accelerator training included.

Clinical Externship (Train to Earn)

Host a Propel Fellow for their supervised clinical externship and meet your next hire before you commit. What your team gains:

Added staff capacity at no cost to your clinic
A try-before-you-hire pipeline: Fellows finish as certified Medical Assistants, ready to join your team
A mentorship opportunity for your staff to grow a rising clinician
You are encouraged, but never obligated, to hire

Fellows are stipended and coached by Propel throughout, so the externship adds value to your team at no cost to you.

Propel COACH

Add on-the-job professional coaching and manager support during the early months of tenure, the post-hire layer that protects your investment and lifts retention. Available as a standalone add-on to any hire.
