Workforce development remains the number-one issue for eldercare providers of all types, and this week, we're taking you inside a comprehensive, nationwide effort to build the care force of tomorrow.

Laura Thorn, director of the Direct Care Workforce Strategies Center, joins the podcast to discuss this vital project from the Administration for Community Living and the National Council on Aging. Along with CFI resource development specialist Ella Lawson, Thorn describes the goals of this grant-funded effort – including bringing together leaders from states to share real solutions that work – and ways that people from across the sector can get involved.
