PCA Training this June
Considering health care as a career path? The UVM Health Network – Home Health & Hospice is offering an upcoming FREE training to become a personal care attendant (PCA) June 13-17 at the UVM Health Network – Home Health & Hospice’s main office in Colchester.
Thanks to a recent $90,000 grant from the Vermont Department of Labor’s Workforce Education and Training Fund (WETF), UVM Health Network – Home Health & Hospice has been able to significantly expand our Career Ladder program. Through this program, a person with no prior experience in health care can receive 40 hours of free training to become a PCA. PCA’s provide around-the-clock personal care and assistance with everyday tasks such as housekeeping or meal preparation to hundreds of Vermonters each day who need support to remain at home.
The program includes 3 levels of PCA training, with tiered promotions and wage increases, followed by a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) course for those interested.
