Free Direct Caregiver & Train-the-Trainer Sessions
Free Direct Caregiver and Train-the-Trainer Sessions through the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing’s Center for Aging Research and Education (UW).
In the Fall of 2025, we alerted members to UW’s Care U workshops. Since 2014, the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing’s Center for Aging Research and Education (CARE) has delivered free one-day “CARE U” workshops for CNA’s, personal care workers, and other direct care staff who support older adults in a variety of settings. Those who are WisCaregiver Careers Certified Direct Care Professionals (CDCPs) and participate in a CARE U workshop, are eligible to receive the “Universal Caregiver” digital badge. CARE also offers free two-day train-the-trainer sessions to expand the reach of CARE U across Wisconsin.
We wanted to let you know that UW will be offering a CARE U Workshop and Train the Trainer sessions in late February at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay. Additional information on both upcoming programs is set forth below:
The CARE U Workshop (February 26, 2026) is designed for people who provide direct care to older adults, including CNAs, personal care workers, family caregivers, and others. Those interested in learning best practices in older adult care can register here.
The CARE U Train-the-Trainer (February 25 & 26, 2026) is designed for those who provide health education or professional development to direct care workers who support older adults. Those interested can apply here to attend this training to learn how to offer CARE U workshops in their workplaces.
