LeadingAge PA is excited to award $98,000 to members through workforce grants this year. The Association is committed to supporting its members’ efforts to attract and retain quality employees, while introducing potential staff to the many rewards a career in senior services offers.
“We are proud to help our members shape the future of aging services through workforce grants that support the professional development of future employees and seasoned leaders alike,” said LeadingAge PA President and CEO, Adam Marles.
The Administrator-in-Training (AIT) Grant is awarded to one LeadingAge PA member community to employ an AIT during their training period. This experience equips the AIT with the necessary tools and knowledge for a successful career as a long-term care administrator. LeadingAge PA is pleased to award Beaumont at Bryn Mawr the $50,000 Administrator-in-Training Grant for 2021-2022!
Recognizing the enduring need to introduce students to the opportunities and rewards available in senior services, the Association is dedicated to helping members inspire a passion for those interested in exploring a career in this admirable field. LeadingAge PA is honored to award $6,000 grants—to help defray the costs associated with employing an intern in 2022—to the following members: The Campus of the Jewish Home of Greater Harrisburg – Harrisburg; Bradford Ecumenical Home, Inc. – Bradford; Presbyterian SeniorCare Network – Oakmont; Friends Home and Village – Newtown; Dunwoody Village – Newtown Square; Living Branches – Souderton; Acts Retirement-Life Communities, Inc. – Fort Washington; and Messiah Village – Mechanicsburg.
