Personal Care Aide
Personal Care Aides, also known as Continuing Care Aides or CCAs, play a crucial role as aides and caregivers in various settings such as long-term care facilities, home care services, and primary care institutions. These professionals are trained to provide personal care and support in daily living activities for clients, patients, or residents, aiming to maintain or enhance their level of independence and well-being.

This initiative seeks to augment the workforce for relief positions by offering participants the chance to earn an income while completing their studies. The starting salary for participants is $21.61 per hour, with program options available for both urban and rural candidates.
