American Senior Communities (ASC) has announced its support of the Vision Centre, which is committed to solving the issue of future leadership in the senior living field. Moreover, Vision Centre aims to help grow these programs with strategic partnerships to help expand educational opportunities and create awareness of the workforce development challenges facing the aging-services sector.
The Vision Centre’s goal is to create 25 robust university and college programs designed to prepare future generations of leaders for aging-adult service organizations. It also aims to facilitate 1,000 paid internships from these programs among senior housing, care, and aging services by 2025.
ASC’s financial commitment will aid the Vision Centre to continue development on important initiatives resulting in long-term societal implications for the profession, senior care and service organizations, and the university landscape. With their strategic collaboration and support, Vision Centre can move forward in making its vision a reality.
“American Senior Communities and Vision Centre are aligned in their dedication to meeting the staffing needs of senior care communities through quality education and leadership training,” ASC CEO Donna Kelsey said. “We believe senior care is one of the most honorable and rewarding careers one can serve in and are proud to support the import work of the Vision Centre.”
