Workforce & Internship Program

Workforce Development

Health Information Technology (IT) as a career is expected to increase dramatically as the sharing of health information expands nationally.

The Interoperability Institute’s (IOIs) Workforce Development goal is to provide early career opportunities to address the talent gap in information technology and healthcare and ensure the supply of talent meets the current and emerging needs of the healthcare industry.

We understand that there are gaps in the Talent Pipeline as a result of students being unaware of emerging health IT opportunities or lack of familiarity with Michigan-based employers.
