Why Focus on Improving Senior Healthcare?

The U.S. population is aging rapidly, and more jobs caring for seniors are being created every day — a lot more. However, supply cannot keep up with demand and the majority of long-term care facilities have reported staff shortages, which can decrease the quality of senior healthcare. By focusing our workforce development efforts on the senior healthcare industry, we’re helping underserved individuals find lucrative and long-term careers that positively impact their lives. In turn, these individuals impact the communities they reside in and the lives of the seniors they care for. It’s a mission that keeps on giving—for everyone.
