Pilot Feedback
Hear from both students & educators.
The UPSKILL pilot was a game changer. Our students gained critical communication and professional readiness skills they were not getting elsewhere. The structure helped them transition into clinical environments with more confidence and clarity.
Before UPSKILL, I was mimicking what professional communication sounded like without a real framework behind it. UPSKILL gave me an action based structure to guide what I say, how I say it, and when to say it so I can get better outcomes in real clinical situations.
We saw immediate value from UPSKILL. The Outcome Report gave us clear, structured insight into each participant’s growth and readiness, which helped us support our professionals with targeted coaching and smarter onboarding. Participants showed stronger communication, more confidence, and smoother integration into the clinical setting.
UPSKILL brought structure to a transition period that is usually trial and error. The skill audit helped us pinpoint gaps early, and the training gave participants a consistent framework for communication and professionalism. The Outcome Report made it easy to track growth and tailor support so our emerging professionals progressed faster and felt more prepared.
