Our program provides tuition free schooling and coaching to become CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) or HHAs (Home Health Aids). These programs are roughly three to eight weeks long. We also pay for childcare, ESL services, food, transportation, books, scrubs, offer job placement and job retention bonuses after completion. This program is all over California. Once an individual submits an interest form, we match them with a near by site.
LeadingAge CA is a nonprofit organization that aims to advocate for quality, non-profit senior living and care through affordable Housing, life plan communities, assisted living and memory care, skilled Nursing home and community-based care services, including PACE, Adult Day Health Care, and Home Care. We have just received a grant for 25 million dollars, so we developed TGIP. The Gateway in Project.
Our goal is to get 2700 new HHAs and CNAs into the workforce, over the next three years, to help with the high demand of health care workers. We plan to do this through recruiting, training, providing wrap-around services and retention incentives.
