Tandem Workforce and Skilltrade Partner to Transform Healthcare Workforce

Tandem Workforce and Skilltrade are excited to go-to-market with a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing workforce development in the healthcare industry.

Las Vegas, NV, Nevada, United States, March 25, 2025 — By integrating Skilltrade’s proven hands-on + online hybrid training programs — Medical Assistant, Surgical Technologist, and Sterile Processing—with Tandem’s innovative retention-focused model, this collaboration equips healthcare employers with skilled professionals while reducing the financial risks of training investments.

Tackling Healthcare Staffing Challenges

The healthcare sector faces persistent staffing shortages, particularly in critical roles such as Medical Assistants, who handle clinical and administrative tasks; Surgical Technologists, who ensure smooth surgical procedures; and Sterile Processing Technicians, who maintain the safety of medical equipment through sterilization. High turnover and the costs associated with training often discourage employers from investing in new talent. This partnership addresses these challenges head-on by delivering job-ready graduates and ensuring they remain with employers long-term.

How the Partnership Works

• Skilltrade’s Training Excellence: Skilltrade offers three targeted programs— Medical Assistant, Surgical Technologist, and Sterile Processing. These programs provide practical, hands-on training and industry-recognized certifications, preparing graduates to excel in healthcare settings from their first day on the job.
• Tandem’s Retention Model: Tandem’s solution aligns incentives so employers can confidently sponsor training to fill open roles while also ensuring sponsored employees don’t turnover quickly. Tandem’s approach enables healthcare providers to see a strong return on their training investment, with retention rates potentially up to three times higher than traditional hiring methods.

Benefits for Healthcare Employers

• Reduced Financial Risk: Tandem’s model safeguards training investments, making it cost-effective to hire and train new talent.
• Immediate Workforce Impact: Skilltrade graduates bring certified skills and practical experience, minimizing onboarding time and enhancing patient care.
• Long-Term Stability: Improved retention means a more consistent workforce, supporting operational efficiency and clinical excellence.

Jason Aubrey, CEO of Skilltrade said: “Partnering with Tandem gives employers a workforce they can count on. Our graduates are trained to excel, and Tandem’s retention model ensures they are committed to their employers, delivering long-term value where it’s needed most.”

Jeffrey Groeber, CEO of Tandem Workforce said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Skilltrade since its training sets the standard for healthcare talent. Coupled with our retention strategies, we collectively turn untrained talent into a stable, high-performing workforce – thereby solving staffing challenges with a solution built to last.”

Setting a New Standard

This partnership establishes a forward-thinking approach to healthcare workforce development. Employers gain access to a reliable pipeline of certified Medical Assistants, Surgical Technologists, and Sterile Processing Technicians— roles essential to patient safety and clinical operations. By combining Skilltrade’s practical education with Tandem’s retention strategies, healthcare providers can confidently address staffing gaps and build a future-ready team.

Healthcare employers interested in reducing turnover, improving ROI, and securing a skilled workforce are encouraged to explore this partnership.
