Kick Off 2025 with a Career in Caregiving! By Rebekah McGee , Senior Vice President,
Business Development and Strategy The new year often inspires us to try new things. If you want to stay active, earn extra income, or find purpose in helping others, roles such as caregiving or nursing assistance offer a rewarding path. These entry-level roles don’t require prior experience, just a genuine interest in supporting others. Working as a caregiver or nursing assistant provides a fulfilling way to blend compassion, skill, and connection and use life experience in a meaningful job. They also provide great opportunities including: Job Security : With the healthcare workforce in high demand, entry-level roles in caregiving and nursing assistance provide stability and opportunities for growth. Flexible Scheduling : Part-time and full- time options make these roles a great fit for older adults seeking balance with personal life or family. Additional Income : A steady source of income for those looking to supplement retirement or cover additional expenses. Acquiring Skills That Matter : The training you gain doesn’t just prepare you for
work, it can be invaluable in caring for loved ones, helping you feel prepared and confident in daily support roles. Affordable Training : CGTI offers scholarships and tuition assistance to make training affordable and accessible. Graduate in Weeks : Within just a few weeks, you can complete a program, learn essential caregiving skills, and be prepared to step confidently into a new role. Consider making 2025 the year you discover a new role that brings both personal and financial rewards.
