Growing Your Own Is a Strategy. Make it More than a Slogan

Traditional career programs put every employee through the same steps, whether they need them or not. Building My Career works differently. Every employee starts with assessments that reveal their interests, then follows a path built around what they actually need. The result is a program you can scale to more of your entry and mid-level employees, more quickly, helping you grow your strongest talent from within.

You Have More Career Paths Than Your Employees Know About

Hospitals offer the widest career ecosystems of any employer, with dozens of departments, hundreds of roles, and real ladders from entry and mid-level positions to advanced practice. Yet most employees never see the whole map. They know their department, maybe the unit next door, and little else about what your organization actually offers.

Employees often don’t leave because the opportunity isn’t there. They leave because they aren’t aware of the vast number of opportunities within your organization.

Retention Starts
with Being Seen

Employees stay where they can see a future for themselves. The Building My Career course is how you make your internal opportunities visible at scale. It’s also how you find your next generation of skilled staff and leaders.

Some of your highest-potential people are quietly doing solid work in entry and mid-level roles with no idea a bigger path is open to them. The course shows these employees the path ahead and shows you who is ready to take it, before they take their talent to another employer.

Building My
Career Course

Building My Career is a facilitator-led program that helps employees build a personalized career plan grounded in self-assessment, your organization’s real job opportunities, and a clear next step. It runs as a cohort experience, which builds confidence for employees in entry and mid-level roles and creates natural peer and mentor relationships along the way.

A Guided Experience That Adapts to Every Employee

Every employee begins with the same first session: assessments that reveal their skills, interests, and career goals. From there, the course adapts. Each employee follows the path that fits what they need next.

From 'What's Next?' to a Real Plan

Employees completing the full career exploration experience will leave with SMART goals, a written action plan, and a direct line to the internal resources that get them there: tuition assistance, an education mentor, and a clear next role to work toward. The plan is theirs, but it’s built entirely around what your organization needs and already offers.
