Teaming up to build
healthcare’s workforce

Covista recruits and enrolls qualified candidates into a dedicated cohort for your health system. Your team reviews applicants, and approved students complete clinical rotations in your facilities—taught by our faculty and yours, following your protocols. Throughout the program, students engage with your leadership through customized experiences that build institutional belonging before graduation. They’re ready to contribute from day one because they’ve already learned your workflows, technology systems and culture.

Traditional recruitment brings candidates who have been educated at any number of schools and systems. These recruits need to learn your organization and may need to “unlearn” what they have learned elsewhere. Covista partnerships deliver graduates who understand your workflows, technology, culture and standards because they developed their skills exclusively in your facilities with your workforce. This drives down the costs of turnover—travel nurses, repeated onboarding and care gaps—while ensuring continuity and consistency in patient care. You're building a sustainable workforce pipeline, not just filling open positions.

Covista is America's largest healthcare educator, graduating more than 24,000 healthcare professionals annually across our five accredited institutions. We partner directly with 270+ hospitals and healthcare systems across the country. We expand access to talent pools others can't reach—working adults, career changers and students in underserved communities—unlocking healthcare workforce capacity at scale. Our SSM Health partnership demonstrates what's possible at scale: 400 practice-ready nurses annually across four states, delivering consistent care quality across every facility from day one.
