Congrats to the new PCAs! CEDO Helps Fill the Job Gap Last Friday, the excitement at the graduation ceremony was palpable. All five students in the Personal Care Assistant (PCA) Plus workforce training program passed their exams with flying colors and are ready and eager to enter the healthcare sector. Armed with their new knowledge, these students will receive support from the Vermont Department of Labor (VDoL) Career Resource Centers in finalizing their resumes, then join the Burlington workforce to provide professional caregiver services. Designed by the City of Burlington/Community & Economic Development Office (CEDO, City of Burlington), this one-of-a-kind PCA Plus program combines classroom instruction, lab skills, personal and professional development (PPD), and diversity and equity training. Free to eligible participants, the program targets Burlington’s low-income and BIPOC communities, including immigrants and refugees. CEDO, for nearly seven (7) years, has been designing and implementing through third party providers, unique workforce development and job training programs particularly in the construction and healthcare sectors, helping to fill some of the gaps in the labor market. The PCA Plus workforce training program is being implemented by Age Well, the leading experts and advocates for the aging population of Northwestern Vermont.
