Learning Opportunities

Learning opportunities for managers
Managers in our organization receive a two-day management orientation in addition to an orientation to the organizations. In their first year of employment, managers also attend an eight-day program providing instruction on using coaching and mentoring approaches in managing employee performance, conducting performance appraisals, and assisting with career development planning.

CapitalCare provides financial assistance through scholarships, bursaries, and conference sponsorship for managers to attend external formal learning opportunities.

Annual surveys of our managers provide us with information on their leaning objectives and career aspirations. Through a combination of work experiences and educational options, we strive to develop our managers for future opportunities in the organization.

Learning opportunities for centre staff
CapitalCare believes that our staff are the primary resource in caring for residents. In addition to fostering a respectful work environment, this belief means helping staff learn more about their area of work and about the needs of residents.

Staff development includes dementia care training, optional motivational workshops, and customer service initiatives designed to meet the needs of staff. In addition to an extensive in-service education program, professional and educational growth opportunities include work experience, project work, bursaries and scholarships.
