This is what building a healthcare career with Futuro Health can look like. Meet a Futuro Health Scholar turning hard work and purpose into real momentum with training and support.🌟
When both of his parents faced health challenges and Damian spent his days visiting them in the hospital, he witnessed the exceptional care they received. That experience inspired him to pursue a career in healthcare so he could provide the same level of care to others. Damian first heard about Futuro Health through his friend’s father and was excited to learn about the Emergency Room Technician pathway. During his program, he was selected as a Futuro Health Ambassador and created a TikTok sharing his career transition and how Futuro Health scholarships helped make this opportunity possible at little to no cost. His video quickly went viral, reaching over 600,000 views in just one month. Now, Damian is excited to launch his career in healthcare, support his community, and provide life-saving care. “Spreading the word about Futuro Health was important to me because I want people to be able to access a resource like Futuro Health.”

Many of the U.S. labor market challenges we discuss on WorkforceRx are shared by Canada, including the need for more skilled workers that are available, particularly in healthcare, skilled trades, and technology. We're going to take a look today at how the higher education sector in Canada is responding to these realities with the help of Carolyn Campbell, president and CEO of NorQuest College in Edmonton, Alberta which has developed a reputation for accessibility, innovation, and student success with enrollment growing and revenues up over fifty percent. For Campbell, the key to success has been making inclusiveness a priority. And while she notes there has been a large increase in enrollments of indigenous people at the school in recent years, she takes a broad view of that term. “The way we think about inclusiveness is this is about everybody. Like, are high school students feeling more included at NorQuest? Are our students who have been in the workforce feeling like they would be included?”
In this revealing conversation with Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan, Campbell also explains the importance of staying aligned with labor market needs, providing wraparound student supports, and the surprising result of removing a $90 application fee. Tune in: ow.ly/sc7R50ZnYLr
