The Network for Professional Education: California Counties Choose CADER Certificate Program to Train Workforce
Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties in California have chosen The Center for Aging & Disability Research & Education (CADER) at BUSSW to implement their Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) certificate program. Britt Bassoni, director of programs and special projects at the Seniors Council and Area Agency on Aging (AAAs), said CADER offered “person-centered training” at a low cost with remote learning, making it ideal for staff to complete training at their own pace.
Excerpt from “Northern California Counties Prepare Workforce for State-Mandated ADRC Status with CADER Certificate Program,” originally posted in The Network for Professional Education at BUSSW:
When Bassoni did a web search for ‘person-centered training,’ CADER at the BU School of Social Work was the top choice. ‘I know that the BU School of Social Work has a really good reputation. I didn’t know much about CADER at the time, but when I reached out, the staff was extremely responsive. They were quickly able to provide an estimate for the number of learners’ seats that we needed, which made it simple and easy.’”
