Healthcare keeps calling for job-ready talent while classrooms graduate learners who still need months of ramp-up. In this episode, we sit down with Mona Morales, Founder & CEO of E2i Partners—a performance advisory and partnership brokerage helping education and industry co-create the future of work—to unpack what it really takes to close that gap. Drawing on 25 years across education and industry, including her time as Industry Executive Director for Education at Microsoft, Mona shares a practical blueprint for aligning learning outcomes with business outcomes. Across the conversation, we explore partnership models that actually move the needle: clinical
apprenticeships, work-based learning, and on-site BSN programs that help hospitals pursue magnet status without pulling nurses away from patients. Mona explains why early exposure through HOSA and pre-high-school pathways matters, how to design competency frameworks that hold up on the floor, and what sustainable governance looks like when academic calendars and hospital operations rarely sync. If you’re an educator, you’ll hear how to co-create learning that is grounded in research, built with business insight, and designed to perform—leveraging shared expertise with employer partners instead to align learning outcomes to business goals. This is transformative collaboration in action. Imagine a world where education and industry co-create the future of work. We do. If you’re a healthcare leader, you’ll learn how to use data to name critical skill gaps, contribute preceptors and mentors, and build advancement pathways for future-ready talent pipelines— treating academic partners as strategic extensions of your workforce strategy, not just clinical sites. And if you’re a student or early-career professional, you’ll find guidance to stay bold, stay curious, and build meaningful experience early so you can add value on day one. Come for the strategy, stay for the playbook: a shared language, clear metrics, and partnership models that are resilient, tech-aware, and centered on better outcomes for patients, learners, and communities.
