Workforce Development
The Home Health AID program was designed to introduce refugees and immigrant from Africa and other countries to the Healthcare field. This program is the first step in improving the lives of our community members by providing them with professional beneficial training. The Home Health AID program's objective is to train 45 individuals from the refugee and immigrant community. Participants in the training receive 40 hours of Home Health AID training and an additional 15 hours of job specific English Language training.
The program partners are Vermont Adult Learning and the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isles Counties. To-date 30 individuals completed the training and have received their certificate of completion of the training. Participants of the program come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Some of our graduates and current trainees come from the following countries Somalia, Nepal, Congo, Iraq, India, Marocco, Togo, Liberia and many more.
The third cycle of the program started on August 22, 2009 and will end on October 17, 1009. The class will be held every Saturday from 9am to 3:30pm at the Visiting Nurse Association office on 1110 Prime Road in Colchester, Vermont.
The Home Health AID Training Program is made possible by a WETF Training Grant from the Vermont Department of Labor. AALV would like to thank our program partners and Vermont Department of Labor for making this program possible.
