Engagement Coordinator - Southern California

Center for Caregiver Advancement, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079


Engagement Coordinator - Southern California

The Center for Caregiver Advancement (CCA) is California's leading supporter of long-term care workers. We cultivate a diverse community of indispensable, empowered caregivers.

For over two decades, CCA has been at the forefront of an equity-driven movement for quality training and quality jobs. CCA is one of the largest providers of training for long-term caregivers in California- training over 35,000 home care and nursing home caregivers in the past 20 years. Training Training is one piece of a large, complex system of long-term care. Still, we know from our long history in the field and studies of our impact that training can lead to higher rates of retention and quality care because caregivers have the knowledge and confidence to be successful in their jobs.

Every day for the next 15 years, 10,000 people will enter retirement. This transition emphasizes the need to develop our long-term care workforce of caregivers. Many caregivers have diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds. These caregivers are well-positioned to meet consumers' emerging needs and provide the best possible care.

A key component of CCA is the Education Fund. This initiative develops partnership systems in which skilled nursing facility employers collaborate seamlessly with SEIU Local 2015. Together, we support training programs for caregivers statewide. We aim to empower workers, enhance skills, and improve the quality of life for consumers and residents. Our high-quality courses, certifications and apprenticeship programs help ensure every caregiver has the tools they need to excel.
