What We Do

We’re tackling critical talent shortages by bridging the gap between education and employment, and enhancing student access to education, in fields where it matters most. We connect employers with clinical students before graduation and tie loan repayment to employment. Think ROTC, but for healthcare.

FOR Universities

A stronger workforce starts with students

Clasp connects students with future employers who will help them secure stable jobs now, and reduce post-graduation debt burdens later.

This program is a strategic investment in the future stability of care for our community. By helping future clinicians train and stay here, we are strengthening access to the services patients rely on, while continuing to manage our resources responsibly in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment.

Charlene Wilson

EVP, Chief Human Resources Officer at Rochester Regional Health

We’ve proudly partnered with Clasp for the past two years, and the growth has been remarkable. As our collaboration has evolved, we've successfully increased our candidate pool while building a strong pipeline of healthcare professionals to meet our long-term goals. This program strengthens our dedication to ensuring the financial well-being of our talent, as well as maintaining high-quality care for our patients.

Shaughn Korpalski

Senior Manager of Campus, Branding, and ED&I at MyEyeDr.

At Lionstone Healthcare, one of our values is to meet our employees where they are in their careers, supporting their growth, goals, and balance. Clasp allows us to achieve and promote this value with our teams while strengthening the care we provide to our communities.

Ezzie Goldish

Chief Financial Officer at Lionstone Healthcare

This is about more than solving a staffing challenge – it’s about reimagining how we support the next generation of healthcare heroes. We’re proud to lead the way in Ohio with a model that supports students financially, professionally, and emotionally – long before they ever walk across the graduation stage. With retention-driven loan repayment, we’re investing in meaningful workforce stability. Many of the students eligible for the program have already completed their clinical rotations at OhioHealth facilities, which helps ensure the organization retains and grows the local talent it helps train. When students feel supported, they’re more likely to stay, to lead and to give back. This program strengthens the bond between OhioHealth and the communities we serve – starting from day one.

Tristan Hall

Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at OhioHealth

At Novant Health, we’re focused on building a healthier future for everyone – from the communities we serve to the team members who deliver care every day. Supporting students now is key to developing the workforce of tomorrow. Through our partnership with Clasp, we’re helping new nurse anesthetists repay a portion of their student loans, with the goal of expanding this benefit to other roles in the future. By easing financial burdens early, we’re fostering loyalty, engagement, and a strong foundation for long-term success.

Lauren King

VP Talent Strategy and Workforce Management at Novant Health

It’s totally changed the game for how we both recruit and keep our people. We turned on Clasp offering $25-36k over the course of five years for any new clinician in PT, OT, SLP. We turned that on in September of last year…and within a month, we had 25 candidates in places where we were having trouble getting two or three applicants over the course of several months. Since then, in only a few months we have had 54 candidates become employees. In our Scholars Program, where we take our current employees and skill them to DPT or OTD, we have 41 people that will be able to go back to school (or are currently going back to school) with $129k of financial support. In a year to two years, we will have those folks starting again as clinicians where we don’t have to invest in the recruiting costs and the waiting. We know exactly when they’re going to start. We already know that they’re good employees because they’ve been with us already for at least a year. So overall, it’s really solved a big chunk of our talent pipeline in a space where we previously were hoping that we would see a few resumes float across per month. So yeah, definitely, definitely a game changer on our end.

¹ Program selection is not guaranteed. If qualified, selected, and employed by a participating employer for a specified employment term, the employer will pay back up to a specified amount toward the student’s eligible, synced student loans in installments via the Clasp platform. In case of voluntary employment termination or termination with cause, failure to meet the terms of the student’s sponsorship agreement, or in the event the student chooses to leave the program at any time, the student is responsible to pay any remaining outstanding amount. The student is personally responsible for the financial obligations under their loan agreement(s). Any agreement between the student and their employer sponsor is entirely separate from their loan obligation(s) and will not in any way offset their obligations to their lender unless payments are made by them or any other party on their behalf.
