Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Train-and-Hire model work, and how much effort is required from our HR team?
With Skilltrade’s Train-and-Hire model, you identify the roles you need to fill—we handle the rest. From building a co-branded recruitment campaign to screening, enrolling, training, and certifying candidates, we manage the entire process. Your HR team only needs to approve the job criteria and interview final candidates. Most partners are up and running with minimal lift and full visibility throughout.
Can bootcamps be timed and aligned with hospital onboarding and internal competency checklists?
Yes. Our hands-on bootcamps and externships can be scheduled to align with your internal onboarding calendar and tailored to mirror your organization’s clinical workflows, tools, and competency requirements. This ensures faster integration and reduced ramp-up time for new hires.
Are programs accredited or tied to national certifications?
All Skilltrade programs prepare learners for nationally recognized certifications from organizations such as the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) or NCCT. Our curriculum is reviewed by healthcare subject matter experts and aligns with the latest industry standards and compliance expectations.
What happens if a sponsored candidate doesn’t stay or meet expectations?
We stand by our outcomes. Every employer-sponsored candidate signs a one-year retention agreement. If a graduate doesn’t meet expectations or leaves early, Skilltrade provides a replacement at no additional cost—ensuring your investment in workforce development is protected.
How does Skilltrade support job placement?
Skilltrade offers end-to-end job placement support through its Train-and-Hire model. We pre-screen and train candidates based on your specific job roles, then place them directly into your organization. We also provide post-placement support and a one-year retention guarantee.
How quickly can training programs be launched?
Our programs can launch in as little as 30–60 days. We offer turnkey implementation—including a branded microsite, enrollment support, training delivery, externship coordination, and onboarding integration.
