Honoring Black History Month and Prioritizing Inclusivity in Healthcare Staffing & Education Services
13TH FEBRUARY, 2025
This week, we proudly celebrate the incredible impact of teachers and nurses, two professions that our society heavily relies on. At Pioneer, we’re honored to support our dedicated professionals, especially as we look ahead to 2025, where demand, opportunity, and career growth continue to accelerate across both fields.
2025 Market Trends to Watch:
- Increased Demand: Schools and healthcare facilities across the country are navigating workforce shortages. The U.S. is projected to face a shortage of over 400,000 nurses by 2025, according to McKinsey & Company. Additionally, 45% of public school districts anticipate continued teacher shortages in 2025, particularly in special education, STEM, and rural areas, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. This means that skilled professionals are needed now more than ever. View job openings here.
- Competitive Pay Packages: Rising demand is pushing many districts and healthcare organizations to offer more competitive pay. In travel nursing alone, national average weekly earnings are around $2,102 in 2025, translating to an annual salary of approximately $101,132, according to Transplant Housing. Travel education roles are also offering signing bonuses and stipends to attract experienced professionals!
- Flexibility and Adventure: Travel education and travel healthcare careers continue to be essential for filling critical staffing gaps. According to a 2024 Becker’s Hospital Review report, healthcare facilities nationwide are increasingly turning to travel nurses and temporary staff to address persistent shortages, a trend expected to continue through 2025. For professionals ready to explore new communities, travel contracts offer unmatched opportunities for growth and flexibility.
