WisCaregiver Careers: Adding 3,000 Nursing Home Caregivers

As of July 31, 2019, more than 9,000 people have registered for the WisCaregiver Careers program. Our goal is to add 3,000 new nurse aides to the workforce in participating nursing homes. To date more than 3,000 people have enrolled in training.

Due to the number of current registrants and training enrollments, both new registration and training enrollment are closed for WisCaregiver Careers until further notice. We are exploring ways to extend the program and re-open registration. People who are already enrolled in a training program with WisCaregiver Careers can continue with the program as usual. Sign up to receive updates about the program and registration.

To meet the WisCaregiver Careers program requirements, participants must:

• Complete free training in a participating WisCaregiver nurse aide training program.
• Successfully complete free nurse aide competency testing and be placed on the Wisconsin Nurse Aide Registry.
• Continuously work at a participating WisCaregiver nursing home as a full time or part time nurse aide for six months.

NOTE: Those who do not successfully complete the training and testing and work at a participating nursing home as a nurse aide for six months will be asked to pay back WisCaregiver Careers the cost of training and testing.
