Challenges bring innovation

Challenges bring innovation.

We should be ripe for a lot of innovation, if that holds true in this particular stage in history as in the past.

Here’s one area where we’re involved in offering an innovative solution: providing pre-employment training to individuals who have lost their jobs, making them job-ready to work for you, the senior care provider.

The challenge: one of the highest rates of unemployed workers in the US in decades.

The innovation: offering unemployed individuals an opportunity to gain a hiring advantage in the workforce by pre-training them for jobs providing care to seniors.

The result: employers (like you) can hire individuals who have proven computer learning skills (a plus for the world where computerization is spreading to every day tasks in caregiving) AND training that proves their knowledge base at a higher level than the unskilled, untrained (but willing) individual. An added bonus to you? You may be able to use documentation of their pre-employment training to fast-track the person into their jobs, avoiding the time and expense for new employee training. Orient them to your organization and to the clients in their care, and they’re job ready, quickly, efficiently and at a lower cost to the employer.

It’s a small step in solving a huge, national challenge. But if it fast-tracks the individual into needed positions in senior care businesses and saves you, the provider, time and money, it could be a small innovation that works.
