AHCA/NCAL is partnering with Equus Workforce Solutions to offer long term care apprenticeship programs. The goal is to get more people engaged in the long term care profession as it battles a workforce crisis. The AHCA/NCAL and Equus collaboration will help to support the development and expansion of Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) that can potentially impact our long term care provider members and those they serve in the future.
This course was designed to meet the critical staff shortages occurring as a result of COVID-19. You will need to register and create an account using your name and e-mail. Once you have created your account, you may complete the course on your own time, stopping as needed, and then rejoining the class wherever you left off. Completion of this training is intended to prepare you to develop, manage and maintain a surge plan.
This toolkit will help state affiliates and member provider organizations work with their local community – legislators, WIBs, educators, potential employees, and the media – to increase the scope and capacity of the long term care workforce by making a positive impression, communicating ideas and information, educating individuals, and correcting misconceptions.
AHCA/NCAL offers an instructional webinar titled “Pioneering Solutions to the Workforce Crisis.” This 45-minute webinar developed in collaboration with PHI delivers practical action steps and strategies assisted living and nursing facilities of all shapes and sizes can take to improve their employee and retention efforts. The webinar also covers ways to improve the hiring process and explains supportive supervision and coaching methods that positively impact employee retention.
