The Trust in partnership with FirstNet Learning, a leader in e-learning solutions, will offer training courses on a variety of topics beginning in January through the newly created Trust University.Trust University can be accessed through the Trust website at www.wctrust.com
Courses are available for all types of healthcare employers: Nursing Home/Residential Care, VNA/ Home Health Care, Rehabilitation, Convalescent, Hospitals, Community Organizations, Human Services, Medical Transport and other Medical Services. These courses will fulfill basic training needs.
Managers will have the ability to control the course selection and timing as well as be able to track your employee’s progress and completion. Employees will be able to print out a certificate of completion once they have successfully passed the course.
The training can be done at any time, any place, and any pace; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (or 366 next year!) A home computer? Take your on-line training course when it is convenient for you. Just received a new project handed to you in the middle of a 1 hour course? Go ahead, you can start it and then continue later. Your e-learning course will wait for you.
The Trust University provides courses in General Safety that all employees should take over a period of time. In addition, depending on the role in the organization, the Trust University also offers courses for management and employee relations.
The interactive courses range in length from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Each course holds your interest while you learn via sound, video, fun quizzes and more!
This is just the first phase of our Trust University. Soon we will add other courses developed specifically for our members to meet your training needs. Courses related to the prevention of patient moving, transfer and repositioning injuries, root cause identification and patient handling devices will be developed in the near future. We also welcome suggestions from the membership as to new courses you would like to see.
