Every September, workforce professionals, employers, partners, and communities across the country recognize National Workforce Development Month. This observance highlights the people, programs, and partnerships that connect individuals with meaningful careers, help employers build strong teams, and strengthen local communities.
For America’s long term and post-acute care providers, workforce development is central to delivering high-quality care. Our profession depends on compassionate, skilled employees who support residents’ health, independence, dignity, and quality of life each day.
National Workforce Development Month is an opportunity to celebrate these dedicated professionals while renewing our commitment to attracting, developing, and retaining the next generation of long term care workers.
In honor of the month, we encourage all to learn more about AHCA/NCAL’s
Caregivers for Tomorrow, a nationwide effort to drive policy change to strengthen and expand the long term care workforce through innovative, sustainable solutions. These solutions are designed to help attract new caregivers, support current staff, and ensure every older adult and individual with disabilities has access to high-quality care.
