- The district is expected to create about 5,500 on-site jobs and $415 million in earnings.
- About 30 percent to 40 percent of the jobs created by the district won’t require a bachelor’s degree.
- The first four-year class of medical students at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte is slated to enter in 2024.
- One of the district’s key focuses is developing a diverse talent base. Atrium is working with Charlotte-based Johnson C. Smith University, a historically Black university, on a scholarship fund for students pursuing healthcare careers, and the health system is committed to at least 20 percent of minority-owned businesses participating in the infrastructure buildout.
