Aurora St. Luke’s South Shore is helping train healthcare’s critical employees – nursing aids, medical assistants, food service workers, housekeepers, and others – who make up the frontline workforce and want to grow their careers. An important component of this training is the NAVIGATE program, a robust strategy designed to positively impact the career trajectory of frontline workers. NAVIGATE combines learning opportunities and workforce development into a single program, providing program participants with the ability to learn and hone new skills, determine career pathways with mentoring and coaching assistance, and access tools and resources that promote mobility and wage growth. NAVIGATE is offered three times a year over a four-month period. In 2024, 77 frontline workers participated in the program within the Milwaukee area. Aurora St. Luke’s South Shore was one of the training sites. Serving our communities through job training for healthcare careers and providing career development for our team members enables us to embrace and celebrate our diversity while ensuring every person we serve feels appreciated and cared for.
