Within the framework of the training sessions promoted by the Undersecretariat of Education, under the Secretariat of Human Development of the Municipality of Concordia, an agreement has been signed with the Autonomous University of Entre Ríos (UADER) at the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences (FCVyS) to develop the “Home Caregivers for the Elderly Course”.
The course, which will last 6 months, starting in the month of July and will be taught in a blended learning modality, is intended for people over 18 years of age with a completed secondary school degree. Attendance at in-person classes will be mandatory, while virtual meetings will be synchronous with the possibility of asynchronous participation. To pass the course, participants must complete evaluative practical assignments and maintain a minimum attendance of 80%.
In this regard, Mayor Francisco Azcué pointed out that “this course is a sign of the Municipality's commitment to continuing education and improving the quality of life of our elderly citizens. We are sure that this professional training will be of great benefit to our community".
The Undersecretary of Education, Carlos Gatto, highlighted the importance of this initiative, stating: "These courses promote the professionalization of the field and offer a quick path to employment". Gatto underscored the relevance of training qualified professionals to provide comprehensive and interdisciplinary care, which guarantees the quality of life of the elderly, whether in their homes or in specialized institutions. "The training of elderly caregivers not only strengthens health assistance and promotion, but also contributes to functional well-being during the decade of healthy aging", he added.
The course is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to specialize in the care of the elderly, offering the necessary tools and knowledge to perform this work with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity. Interested parties can obtain more information and register through the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia at Avellaneda 26 from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
