Caregiver Certification Training Program In Ghana

If you are in Ghana and you have a passion for caregiving and looking to make a career out of it or you are a caregiver and you wish to improve your knowledge and skills in the field, this is the best time to enroll for a training program with Clarion College and obtain a caregiving certification. Let me you why.

According to surveys done by Ghana Statistical Service (GSS),

and the Population Reference Bureau, there has been an increase in the proportion of older citizens in Ghana (from the age 65 and above) between 1960 and 2021 and the percent is expected to go up as time goes on. Due to the limitations in how people in that age bracket function, they will need a caregiver to look after them and help them carry out certain activities.

In addition to this, a recent survey carried out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment opportunities in caregiving is expected to increase by a remarkable 25% between 2021 and 2031, making it one of the most in-demand professions. 

However, the increase in the demand for caregivers has also led to an increase in interest in the profession and this will cause massive competition for jobs and that is where a caregiving certification comes in.

A caregiver certification is a credential that can help stand out in the midst of several other caregivers who are also looking to be hired. It serves as proof from a recognized body that you are a qualified caregiver and you have the required skills and experience needed to take proper and professional care of a patient. And since homes, private organizations and companies will rather employ someone who is experienced in the field, you will stand a better chance of getting hired than those who are non-certified when you both apply for jobs.  

So, without further ado, let’s look at how to become a caregiver in Ghana.
