San Mateo, California Jul 15, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Tuition.io, a leader in Education Assistance Benefits, has unveiled its groundbreaking Learning Partner Network, a purpose-built solution designed to help healthcare employers combat workforce shortages in nursing and other clinical roles.

The HRSA projects continued shortages over the next decade, especially in heavily populated states like Washington (26%), Georgia (21%), and California (18%). In March 2023, the International Council of Nurses declared the global nursing shortage a health emergency, highlighting the urgent need for focused solutions.
Tuition.ios Learning Partner Network takes a targeted approach, setting it apart from other vendors.
