Seeking a Training Delivery Manager

Come help build and lead delivery of a groundbreaking new workforce-orientation program for Minnesota caregivers, as part of the Minnesota Home Care Orientation Trust, a labor-management partnership dedicated to empowering home care workers and improving the services and supports provided to Minnesota seniors and people with disabilities. The Training Delivery Manager will be an early member of a ground-breaking and fulfilling program with opportunities for professional growth.

About the Minnesota Home Care Orientation Trust

In 2023, a new orientation program was created through a groundbreaking union contract between the State of Minnesota and SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa, the union of over 35,000 Minnesota home care workers. For too long, home care work has been undervalued, despite its importance in the lives of so many people with disabilities and seniors who rely on home care workers every day. Consumer-directed home care workers unionized in 2014 and have made steady progress since in improving the pay, benefits, an d training opportunities they receive.

The goal of the Orientation Trust is to support home care workers in being successful in their roles . Through our program, workers will know what is expected of them as professional caregivers, how the state’s programs work, how to care for themselves while doing this work, what benefits are available to them, and where to go for assistance as they learn their new jobs. This ensures that Minnesotans can get the care they need in their homes, live the lives they choose, and that their caregivers are cared for as well.
