SACRAMENTO ~ The California Department of Aging (CDA) has launched the CalGrows workforce training and development program to build the state's health care workforce. The program provides caregivers for older adults and adults with disabilities the chance to get free job training and earn up to $6,000 in incentives.
Governor Newsom said, "Investing in and growing our health care workforce is critical to the health and safety of Californians. As the entire United States faces a health care worker shortage, the CalGrows initiative is yet another tool California is using to ensure our health care workforce remains strong by providing opportunities to those already caring for loved ones."
CalGrows is grounded in the recognition that direct care jobs can be a gateway into a variety of personal and professional advancement opportunities. The program brings together dozens of training providers offering hundreds of virtual and in-person courses for caregivers across California. Courses cover a range of topics, including Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia, Cultural Diversity, Food Safety, Infection Control, Provider, and Consumer communication and more, with courses available in multiple languages.

Susan DeMarois, Director of the California Department of Aging said "CalGrows training courses empower caregivers across California to learn valuable skills to improve the lives of those in their care and help further their careers. As California's population ages, we'll need hundreds of thousands more direct care workers. The CalGrows program is an important milestone toward ensuring the state has the home care aides, care managers, dementia care specialists, activities coordinators, and other important roles necessary to support our aging population."
Dr. Mark Ghaly from the California Health & Human Services Agency added "Care workers are more likely to be women and people of color who are also at a higher risk for age-related illnesses. CalGrows demonstrates the State's commitment to support caregivers as well as those they care for by providing training in six languages at launch with more added soon as well as career growth opportunities. This program is essential to help California achieve our goals in the Master Plan for Aging: To build a California for all ages and abilities."
