Career Ladder

Career Ladders show the progression from entry-level positions to those with higher levels of responsibility, skill, and pay. Career ladder programs provide education and skills training on the job, increasing the likelihood of internal promotions.

Catalyst Learning Company works with over 400 hospitals nationwide to help them support the Career Ladder concept by providing career development solutions that strengthen internal pipelines and increase retention. Our customers are typically acute care facilities with a minimum of 450 employees. In organizations of this size, one-to-one career advising is often too labor intensive to produce a positive RoI. CareerCare’s web-based/self-paced design eliminates this barrier and helps employees determine, navigate and advance their career path. CareerCare introduces employees to the Career Ladder concept and helps them map the path to advancement!

Not all careers follow a linear progression. Workers may also make lateral moves. For example, a career “ladder” would focus on the climb from Patient Care Tech to LVN to RN; a lattice recognizes that LPN candidates can be drawn from other departments such as Lab Techs.
