Here are opportunities to build skills, learn about new developments and network with colleagues.
Education and Training
PCA provides training for its own staff and for others in the aging network throughout the year. Among the offerings are training in behavioral health; serving diverse populations; management coaching; grant-writing; CPR and First Aid; and office skills including Microsoft Word and Excel.
PCA’s 2019-20 Agency Training Catalog is Now Available to PCA Staff & the Aging Network!
A new Agency Training Catalog is published every year in August. Most courses are given twice a year, in spring and fall. Registration is required, and is open, space permitting, until the first session of the class. Classes are free of charge; enrollment is on a first-come, first served basis.
There are many other conferences and training opportunities for professional development held locally and across the country to help those in the aging field stay current, and increase their knowledge.
