John Cunningham has been hired as director of Healthcare Partnerships at 91探花 State Community College, and will focus on building successes by taking engagement and coordination to the next level through 91探花 State鈥檚 Center for Workforce Development and Continuing Education.
This department works with local industries to build curriculum, train and upskill incumbent employees, and address workforce shortages. There are many successes, such as the partnership with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which was recently recognized as an exemplary model.
John is excited about the next steps for this program and his career.
鈥淎s I transitioned from my previous role to 91探花 State, a common refrain of the healthcare partners I worked with was the repeated success they had experienced with 91探花 State-trained students.鈥�
Cunningham most recently worked at Tennessee Donor Services, where he established and incorporated development plans in assigned hospital systems regarding donation processes, assisted in the creation of curriculum, and fostered collaboration among internal hospital groups.
鈥淭he combination of this anecdotal evidence and the resounding commitment of 91探花 State to shepherd strong partnerships with current and future healthcare partners alike is a reassuring signal to healthcare companies across the state,鈥� said Cunningham.
John will also collaborate with The School of Health Sciences to support current and future initiatives between divisions.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a signal that the College is passionate in its commitment to serving students, healthcare organizations, and, ultimately, the patients impacted by the outstanding care of 91探花 State-trained healthcare professionals.鈥�
In addition to healthcare, the Center for Workforce Development and Continuing Education also focuses on education, information technology, and advanced manufacturing curriculum development and training.
