The MiCare project, which aims to train migrants in order to work as caregivers for older people and people with care needs, will organise six Train the Trainer events to introduce the training package developed to trainers. One training will take place in each partner country facilitated by the partners of the consortium.
The project partners have developed a Training Package for migrants who wish to work as caregivers for older people and people with care needs which will include courses in Caregiving, Language and Skills Enhancement.
The Caregiving course covers different caregiving aspects including both theoretical and practical sessions focusing on the provision of basic care, first aid, domestic support, daily living and personal assistance among others. The language course includes basic grammar and vocabulary related specifically to caregiving, focusing on common occupational specific phrases and words for caregivers. Last but not least, the skills enhancement includes basic information and on time management, digital skills and other important subjects.
The training package is available on the MiCare online platform and contains both exercises for self-learning and additional exercises and case studies that can be implemented with the help of trainers.
The Train the Trainer events will present the training package and provide basic training and guidelines to the trainers. CTAO members will lead all train the trainer events.
