Healthcare Facilities Network Advocate Aurora’s Apprentice-to-Intern Pathway: Cultivating Future Facilities Leaders.
Advocate Aurora is tackling two major challenges in healthcare facilities: an aging workforce and aging infrastructure. In this episode of Healthcare Facilities Network, Ryan Koney, Manager of Facilities Operations at Advocate Aurora Health, shares how the organization’s innovative Apprentice-to-Intern program is cultivating the next generation of facilities leaders.
Ryan walks us through how the program bridges generational gaps, preserves critical knowledge, and secures C-level buy-in — all while preparing younger professionals to take on future leadership roles. From practical strategies for succession planning to fostering collaboration between Gen Z and Boomers/Gen X, this episode explores how Advocate Aurora is creating a replicable model for healthcare systems nationwide.
Whether you’re involved in facilities management, workforce development, or leadership strategy, Ryan offers actionable insights to help organizations future-proof their teams and infrastructure.
