Upskilling for the future of work
You aim to enhance and improve the whole health of everyone that you serve, including your own employees, and the thought of helping them grow professionally and financially thrills you.
But as the War for Talent rages on, many roles in the current healthcare landscape are quickly becoming obsolete, while others are becoming increasingly difficult (and expensive) to fill.
Therefore, you need a powerful and scalable solution that will not only help you pave out strategic career paths and model internal mobility for the jobs of tomorrow – but also provide your staff with the education they need today.
Guild reskills your workforce for jobs of the future through a curated learning marketplace that enables career pathways for every employee, especially the front line. Our platform drives equitable access to learning and unparalleled student outcomes through our learning marketplace, payments technology, customized program design, and 1:1 learner coaching.
We admire Humana's bold commitment to DE&I, and like you, we recognize that education is a physical and social determinant of health and well-being. With Guild students graduating at a rate 2X higher than the national average, our partnership has the power to make a lasting impact on the lives of your employees and their families for generations to come.
Let’s inspire health and well-being through education, together. We are excited to explore this with
you further.

“It should be a no-brainer to go with an employer that is willing to invest in you.”
We know that both companies and the workers they serve reap financial benefits when employers invest directly in employee education. That’s why you don't pay for Guild’s services.
As a certified B-Corporation, our business model ensures that we are only as successful as your employees are. We are paid by our academic partners for our technology, payments and student services only when we enroll your employees in education programs.
In our passionate pursuit of positive student outcomes, our partners have realized an average of $2.84 in savings for every $1 invested in education benefits.
Education that drives powerful business and societal outcomes
86% of employees are more likely to refer someone to work for their employer due to education programs
TALENT BRAND
43% of students had a role change in 2020 — a 113% uplift compared to all employees

My resume got me to Target cashier, but it's not gonna work for Target’s software engineering level. Guild one hundred percent helped build the bridge. It really just helped me connect the dots and really taught me the basics. One of my career coaches — she's helping me with the behavioral part of the interviewing, which is one type of the interview that [Target] holds.You have this free resource. I was like, ‘I guess I'll just schedule [a call with my SSC].’ And literally since our first meeting, I met with her consistently every week until the end of my bootcamp. It was just so awesome.

The next venture would be obtaining my bachelor’s degree in behavioral and mental health.

ROBERT's story
Prior to going through the Your Tomorrow benefit I applied, I think four or five times, for various analyst type positions. Each time I was just bested by somebody who either had more experience or had higher quality experience than I did. I knew specifically what I needed to study, but I hadn't really been given the opportunity to do it. I think that Guild has done a really good job of identifying the skills needed for some of these positions and offering really quality opportunities for you to get those skills.

My kids are older now and it's a little easier for me to focus on me now. Medical coding and billing has always been something I wanted to add to my list of accomplishments. The next venture would be obtaining my bachelor’s degree in behavioral and mental health. After thinking about the work I've done within the last 7 years – medical coding would elevate me to the next level. It will give me more knowledge to grow in the healthcare industry. This is something I can do for a company as well as freelance for additional income.

ROBERT'S STORY
Prior to going through the Your Tomorrow benefit I applied, I think four or five times, for various analyst type positions. Each time I was just bested by somebody who either had more experience or had higher quality experience than I did. I knew specifically what I needed to study, but I hadn't really been given the opportunity to do it. I think that Guild has done a really good job of identifying the skills needed for some of these positions and offering really quality opportunities for you to get those skills.
