Bayada’s Jamison, Pa., location will use the funds provided by the grant to expand its talent pool to recent licensed practical nurse and registered nurse graduates, who would otherwise not yet meet hiring requirements for prior work experience. 

“Pennsylvania’s homecare workforce plays an essential role in the lives of seniors, adults, and children across the commonwealth who need and deserve dedicated, compassionate care every day,” said Meg Snead, acting secretary of the Department of Human Services. “This apprenticeship program is an investment in both the quality of care for Pennsylvanians who use this care every day and people who choose home care as a career path that allows them to serve others.”
