Each month, LeadingAge National sends out a great and quick newsletter focused on workforce issues called “Workforce Matters”. Check out the articles from February’s edition.

- Participate in National Careers in Aging Week April 19-26: Do you want students in your community to know about the older adult services field, and, that you have job openings? Make it easy to do both by participating in Careers in Aging Week, April 19-26.
- LeadingAge Seeks Economic Argument for Workforce Investments: A new LeadingAge study will try to answer that question by exploring how increased compensation for direct care workers could favorably impact the national economy, the field of long-term services and supports (LTSS), and individual direct care workers.
- LeadingAge Advocating for Federal Programs Dedicated to Geriatric Workforce Training: The national Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), the only federal program that develops a health care workforce, while improving health outcomes for older adults, has not been reauthorized by Congress. As our nation ages and our workforce shortage worsens, the GWEPs serve a valuable role.
- Join us for Workforce Wednesdays at noon EST (11 AM Central) the first Wednesday of each month via phone or computer to learn about new ideas and solutions.
