The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has shared a new initiative to help providers find certified caregivers. See their message below:

Sign Up for Access to a New Pool of Direct Care Workers!

Competition for quality, talented caregivers is at an all-time high. In fact, one in four direct caregiver positions is currently unfilled. That’s why the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is investing in the caregiving workforce by training up to 10,000 new workers as certified direct care professionals (CDCPs) through WisCaregiverCDCP.com.

Our companion online platform, WisCaregiver Connections, makes it easy for eligible providers* to find CDCPs to fill open positions. You can gain a competitive edge in finding certified caregivers—at no charge to you. This one-stop platform lets you:

• Post job openings
• Auto-match with jobseekers
• Screen candidate profiles and credentials

*The certified direct care professional (CDCP) program and WisCaregiver Connections were developed with American Rescue Plan Act funding for home and community-based services (HCBS). Eligible providers/agencies are those that serve HCBS participants enrolled in programs such as Family Care, Partnership, IRIS, PACE, or Children’s Long-Term Support and fee-for-service (FFS) providers who serve HCBS participants.
