Sanford Health 'returnship' program to bolster hiring efforts

Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Sanford Health launched a 12-week "returnship" pilot program to attract workers who have been out of the workforce, the Duluth News Tribune reports.

The program is targeted at professionals with degrees and a work history who left the workforce for 24 months or longer. The program offers workers paid positions in marketing and communications, finance and human resources, as well as employment resources like mentorship, coaching and skills gap analyses, according to the report. Returnship participants will be evaluated for permanent roles at the end of the program. 

The health system hopes the program will help fill open jobs in a tight labor market, according to the report.
