Starting Monday, February 10, the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia opens pre-registration for the "Home Caregivers for the Elderly Course." This training, which saw significant development during 2024, is being renewed following the decision of the administration of Mayor Francisco Azcué and the coordination with the Autonomous University of Entre Ríos (UADER), through the Faculty of Life and Health Sciences (FCVyS).
The six-month, blended-learning course is aimed at individuals over 18 years of age with a completed secondary school diploma. Attendance at in-person classes is mandatory, while virtual meetings will include both synchronous and asynchronous sessions. To pass, students must complete evaluative practical assignments and maintain a minimum attendance of 80%.
Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted that "this course is a demonstration of the Municipality's commitment to continuing education and improving the quality of life for our elderly citizens. Its impact has been extremely positive, as 50 people graduated in 2024, gaining a job opportunity to apply their knowledge in the care of the elderly. Promoting labor inclusion in such an important sector is a priority for our administration, and we are confident that this new edition will continue to provide opportunities."
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education, Carlos Gatto, emphasized that "these courses promote the professionalization of the field and offer quick access to the labor market. In 2024, its impact was notable, allowing 50 people to be trained and access new employment opportunities in elderly care. The training of caregivers not only strengthens health assistance and promotion but also contributes to functional well-being during the decade of healthy aging, ensuring that more people can access quality care."
To complete the pre-registration, interested parties must attend with a photocopy of their DNI and a legalized copy of their secondary school diploma or a certificate of diploma in procedure. Registration will take place at the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia, located at Avellaneda 26, from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
