Inspiring Leadership and Purpose

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Wisconsin Caregiver Academy provides training for caregiving professionals and practitioners throughout Wisconsin. We develop innovative training initiatives and courses that deliver sustainable results for assisted living facilities, including:

• Client Group and Task-Specific Training
• Continuing Education for Caregivers (coming soon!)
• Continuing Education for Current Instructors
• Other Opportunities for professional development

 

 

If you are a current instructor, you may earn the required continuing education hours by taking our online classes.
