OWINGS MILLS, Md., Oct. 01, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- RadNet, a national leader in high-quality, cost-effective outpatient diagnostic imaging and a global developer of digital health solutions, has partnered with WIN-NextGen, a leading workforce innovation network dedicated to cultivating talent across the 3S Workforce™ (STEM, Supply Chain, and Skilled Trades), to introduce middle school, high school, and young adult learners to careers in medical imaging. The medical imaging profession is facing a workforce shortage as demand for diagnostic imaging continues to grow faster than the pipeline of future radiologists and radiologic technologists. This widening gap underscores the urgent need to innovate, educate, and prepare the next generation of imaging professionals.
Through this collaboration, students aged 12 to 17 throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and parts of Virginia, as well as young adults aged 18 to 24, will gain access to WIN-NextGen’s digital workforce platform featuring age-appropriate learning modules, interactive career experiences, mentorship opportunities, and imaging center shadowing experiences. Together, RadNet and WIN-NextGen aim to increase awareness of the many career opportunities in medical imaging and inspire more students to pursue careers in radiology.
The collaboration is expected to expand over time to include internship and scholarship opportunities. In the program's initial phase, participants will complete learning modules to earn rewards including exclusive “Totally Rad” merchandise, iPads, invitations to select RadNet events, and mentorship sessions with experienced radiologic technologists. An official launch event is planned for Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM ET at RadNet’s Advanced Radiology Timonium Crossings Imaging Center, located at 2080 York Rd, Suite 160, Timonium, Maryland. Middle school and high school students from Maryland, Washington, and Virginia will tour the facility with their families, see demonstrations, and engage in fun, educational learning activities. Media are invited to attend.
WIN-NextGen, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and workforce innovation network, uses technology to help youth from middle school through young adulthood explore career possibilities and cultivate real career skills across the 3S Workforce™: STEM, Supply Chain, and Skilled Trades. Through career exploration, skills development, mentoring, experiential learning, and employer engagement, WIN-NextGen inspires and prepares the next generation for work in the AI era and beyond while building the talent pipelines employers and communities need.
