As part of the Training Partnership's ongoing priority to provide convenient online Continuing Education classes for students, the first of a number of new eLearning courses is set for release in late May. The first course, Cultural Competency - Nutrition, is one of the three upcoming courses created in partnership with the Cross Cultural Health Care Program designed to support Home Care Aides in providing exceptional care to a diverse group of consumers.
Are you passionate about enhancing professionalism and building a close network of support in the field of long-term care here in Washington? The Training Partnership seeks new and experienced Home Care Aides to be part of an exciting peer mentoring program!

The State of Washington and SEIU Healthcare 775NW reached agreement Friday, April 13, 2012, on restoring some funding for the Training Partnership for Fiscal Year 2012.

This agreement will help to offset the deep budget deficit faced by the TrainingPartnership due to lower-than-expected revenue. Additional revenue from this agreement will be applied to increased class offerings and access to student support through the Member Resource Center. Exact allocation of resources will be determined by a pending decision from the Training Partnership Board of Trustees.

Updated schedules will be posted following the decision from the Board of Trustees.

While this funding will help expand training classes for the remainder of FY 2012, the funding allocated in the state budget may not be sufficient without additional revenue to ensure adequate access to classes throughout the state and in key languages spoken by Home Care Aides.

Further updates will be provided as the FY13 budget is finalized.

The Training Partnership is experiencing a 29 percent annualized budget deficit created by lower-than-expected revenue. The organization expected to receive funding January-June consistent with a 2010 SEIU/State of Washington arbitration award. In January, the Training Partnership was notified by the State that they do not intend to fund the Training Partnership consistent with this arbitration award.

In response, the Training Partnership Board of Trustees have approved budget cuts that amount to an 80 percent reduction for the remainder of the fiscal year - March through June.  

 

For the convenience of our students, there are now 10 Online Continuing Education courses available in Spanish and Russian. For instructions on how to take these classes, please visit the Spanish and Russian Online CE Pages.
