Build Your Recruitment Pipelines for Today and Tomorrow

On March 9, 2023 by Anna Mowry

Each month, our national partner LeadingAge, shares workforce tools to help providers take action in their workforce efforts. This month’s focus was on recruitment tools to help you grow your teams to ensure a quality workforce both today and tomorrow.

• Recruit new team members or develop the ones you have using an “earn-and-learn” dual-training approach. Through the Minnesota Dual-Training Pipeline Grant, administered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, workers receive a combination of related instruction paired with on-the-job training. Applications are open now until April 3.
• Get in front of prospective employees, youth, and your community. Use the resources, Job Fair Checklist, or how to help students get engaged with aging services to get started.
