Cinematic Health Education Receives Investment from Strada Education Network to Boost Nursing Career Tracks

GREEN BROOK, N.J. , October 27 /Businesswire/ - Cinematic Health Education, a national leader in preparing allied health professionals for rewarding healthcare careers, today announced that Strada Education Network has made a strategic minority investment in the company to support its work developing meaningful professional pathways for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) and other similar roles.

“Cinematic Health Education’s focus on educating frontline healthcare workers is well-aligned with Strada’s mission of improving pathways between education and employment,” said Jessica Hinkle, Strada’s senior vice president for strategic investments. “CNAs play a key role in the healthcare industry; we look forward to learning how individuals new to the role progress, so that we better understand the purposeful connections needed to build rewarding careers.”

As part of the investment, Cinematic Health Education and Strada will conduct a first-of-its-kind study to track CNAs’ early career progression. This national longitudinal study will investigate how new CNAs progress in the workforce, looking at retention and career advancement. The study will tap into Cinematic Health Education’s growing pool of CNA candidates who will enter the workforce at residential healthcare facilities and other medical settings.

Strada is the second major education investor to invest in Cinematic Health Education over the past several months. In late 2019, Rethink Education provided funding to help the company ramp up its management and sales team, and bolster its content, which features a Hollywood-quality movie that shows CNA candidates how to navigate various real-life situations in residential healthcare facilities.

“More than ever, Americans have access to video screens and use them as educational and career-advancement tools,” said Rethink Education Managing Partner Rick Segal. “Cinematic Health Education’s model supports a flexible hybrid approach that is ideal for our current reality and the post-COVID world.”

“We are very pleased to earn the financial support of both Strada and Rethink, two of the top mission-driven investors in the education space,” said Cinematic Health Education CEO Tim Murray. “These strategic partnerships will enable us to expand our programs and help more students to gain the skills to pursue rewarding healthcare careers.”
