EDC offering free home care aide training

Posted May 14, 2022 at 12:13 pm by

The EDC shares an update about one of their career training programs.

Those seeking to enter health care careers, obtain side income while helping their neighbors, or boost personal care business are invited to get free home care aide training through a program offered by the Economic Development Council in partnership with Cornerstone Healthcare Training. Students will receive free training, financial support for costs of testing, and counseling to fit home care aide certification into a plan for financial success.

Certification can help people gain financial stability. Workers wishing to enter other healthcare careers – such as nursing or even management positions – can work as a home care aide to start up the career ladder and earn income at the same time. Those working part-time, seasonally, or freelance could gain income stability and flexibility. Those who are doing other types of personal care services already can earn more income by offering new services or by filling gaps between private clients.

To learn more, contact the EDC at [email protected] or visit the EDC website. Applicants must be San Juan County residents who are 18 years of age or older.
