Clasp

The cost of higher education is spiraling, far outpacing wage growth, leaving students with impossible choices. Sticker price shouldn't dictate opportunity, yet for many, it does. At Clasp, we’re committed to making education financially sustainable, so students can focus on their future, not just their debt.

🚨Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) is in limbo. Healthcare talent is at risk. 🚨 These aren’t just policy changes—they’re roadblocks that will drive thousands of future clinicians out of the pipeline while sending monthly payments soaring. PTs, CRNAs, PCPs, and other essential healthcare professionals are already struggling to afford their education, and hospitals will feel the impact sooner than they think. At Clasp, we’re on the front lines of this shift, helping 10,000+ students connect with employers who invest in their education for multi-year work commitments. Leading health systems aren't waiting they’re taking control by bringing new impact dollars to the table. The bottom line? The old ways of financing healthcare education are disappearing. If hospitals don’t step up now, they’ll face even greater staffing shortages tomorrow. The solution: Employer-backed education financing that secures committed, skilled talent before they enter the workforce. If you’re ready to retain talent and build a stronger workforce, let’s talk. Clasp is here to help. 🔗 Schedule a call with us here: https://lnkd.in/ezp4tGvk

The recent removal of Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) isn’t just about loan terms—it’s about the future of healthcare. 

🚨 Do sign-on bonuses really work? Let’s talk about it. 🚨For years, sign-on bonuses have been a go-to strategy for attracting healthcare talent—but studies show that for every $10,000 spent on a sign-on bonus, hospitals may only see $2,800 in return. It’s time to rethink short-term incentives and shift toward retention-driven recruitment strategies that actually keep employees long-term. Join Tess Michaels, Founder of Clasp and Ryan Affolter of RogueHire for a fireside chat where they’ll unpack: ✅ The true impact of sign-on bonuses on attraction, retention, and turnover ✅ Hidden costs and cultural challenges that come with transactional hiring ✅ How leading employers are building education-to-career pathways to retain talent ✅ Alternative incentives that create a win-win-win for health systems, employees, and education partners 📅 Date: March 26 | 1pm ET (12pm CDT) 🔗 Join the community to register (it’s free!): https://roguehcc.mn.co/ #TalentRetention #FutureOfWork #HealthcareHR #WorkforceStrategy #HiringSolutions #GenZWorkforce
