Personal Care Aide -- free training

Helping someone in need is a personally satisfying thing to do, and having this as your job can enrich your life in more ways than just the paycheck.

​

If you have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and would like to become certified to work with older adults or others needing assistance with daily living, there is a free program to train you to become a Personal Care Aide (PCA).

​

The #OhioStrongPCAtraining Program is from the Area Agency on Aging. You would fill out an application and send to them. After being approved, you will then be trained as a Certified Nurse Aid (CNA). Training includes a minimum of 75 hours of classroom instruction and hands-on training. A virtual job fair will be held at the end of the program. The need for Personal Care Aides is great and jobs are available.

​

There is no cost to apply, and the training will be funded by an Area Agency on Aging grant.
