For too long, America’s education system has failed to prepare students for good jobs that don’t require a four-year college degree. Students are missing out on opportunities in high-growth industries like healthcare, where there are currently two million jobs available.

To help close that gap, Bloomberg Philanthropies is launching a first-of-its-kind initiative which partners education & health leaders to create new, healthcare-focused high schools in 10 communities around the nation that will graduate students directly into high-demand healthcare jobs. It’s a model that we hope can be replicated in other industries, as well.

Mike Bloomberg is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and three-term mayor of New York City. He serves as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, and as WHO Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases and Injuries. Bloomberg graduated from Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Business School.

Bloomberg LP, the financial technology and media company he launched in 1981, revolutionized the investment industry and now employs some 20,000 people. His foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, works to improve lives through its core focus areas: Public Health, Education, the Environment, Government Innovation, the Arts, and Founders’ Projects including the Greenwood Initiative. He also launched a series of major efforts to help fight the coronavirus in the U.S. and around the world.
