Workforce Development
The senior living sectors require a competent, capable, and well-trained workforce that is able to ensure quality of life and care for older adults everywhere. The programs and resources developed by the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) equip leaders in long-term care and reitrement settings attract and retain quality team members. Through evidence-informed training tools and education opportunities, the RIA fosters a culture of learning in senior living settings to ensure jobs are rewarding, contributing to employee retention.
At the RIA, we focus on engaging young people early and encourage them to explore career opportunities in senior living settings.
