Civitan Services extends a sincere and hearty THANK YOU to all the Waiver staff who attended the mandatory annual training this past Saturday, April 20th. We appreciate your willingness to help us meet the number of annual training hours we are required to maintain for each of you in order keep our license in good standing.
Every staff member--including part time Waiver staff--must produce a minimum of 12 hours of training per year. This is non-negotiable and cannot be excused. These hours are due by June 2013.
For those of you who did not attend training on April 20th, please understand that your absence puts our license renewal in jeopardy if those training hours are not produced for you. In the coming weeks please be prepared make up the hours you missed by providing documentation from any outside professional training you may have had since last June or be prepared to work with our Human Resources department to put in the extra training hours you need to make up the difference. You should also expect possible disciplinary action for not showing up as required (unless you were specifically excused).
Possible sources of training hours that may be included:
CPR training or renewal training
First Aid training
Safe Driver training
Conferences and/or seminars that included Continuing Education credits
Webinars that included Continuing Education credits
Any documented training related to nursing or special education
Any on-the-job training performed for another employer that would apply to patient/client care, time management, specialized problem-solving, or goal-oriented education
Please be aware that all training hours must be documented by a certificate or some other form of proof of training completed. If you have questions regarding training hours and/or what kind of training will qualify, please contact Steve in Human Resources.
Thanks again to everyone for your help in keeping us well-trained and well-prepared for all our many regulatory inspections. Your cooperation helps us succeed!
