Elder Care Employer OJT & IWT Grants

An elder care employer was already hiring CNAs and caregivers — they just had no idea the state was willing to pay for it. Through our guidance on OJT and IWT workforce grants, they secured $75,000+ in wage reimbursements — money that went straight back into growing their team.

"We were already doing the hiring. Trade School Secrets just showed us how to get reimbursed for it. Easiest ROI decision we've ever made."
