Our world is almost fully computerized. Any professional must be both skilled and confident with computers. In healthcare, this skill is even more crucial. Most medical records are now digitized. A long-term care worker may need to use a computer when reaching a specialist, ordering pain medication or arranging a ride to the hospital. Computer skills are imperative to create trust between a caregiver and his or her patient; the care recipient must know that he or she is in professional hands. Our beginning computer course provides the overview and practice necessary for all healthcare workers to join the 21st Century.

The Homecare Workers Training Center is aware that an employer will hire a “whole package”, not just a certificate degree, or a number of years of work experience. We work with students to develop them into competitive candidates.
