NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As the government shutdown continues to disrupt funding for education and workforce programs, Stepful<\/a>, recently named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME<\/i> Magazine and Statista, announced it will continue offering free healthcare career training for military families.<\/p>\n

\nFederal programs that typically cover the cost of training for military spouses, active-duty service members, and National Guard or Reserve personnel have been paused during the shutdown. Stepful is stepping in to ensure uninterrupted access to its healthcare training programs at no cost to those who serve.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt Stepful, our commitment doesn\u2019t pause,\u201d said Carl Madi, CEO of Stepful. \u201cMilitary families give so much to this country, and their education and career goals shouldn\u2019t depend on politics or budgets. We\u2019re proud to stand by them and keep their training free through the shutdown and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nStepful\u2019s healthcare training programs prepare learners for high-demand roles including medical assistants and pharmacy technicians. Through its online platform, personalized coaching, and job placement support, Stepful has helped thousands of graduates launch meaningful healthcare careers while partnering with health systems across the country to build stronger, more resilient care teams.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been hearing from military spouses and service members who were worried they\u2019d have to pause their training because of the shutdown,\u201d said Ashley Weissman, Admissions Representative for Military Programs at Stepful. \u201cIt\u2019s been incredible to tell them their education can keep going \u2013 that Stepful is still here for them, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n
