Going PRO Talent Fund Award Allows Employer to Hire New Employees & Pay for Training

Shiawassee Co. - Right at Home was the recipient of the largest Going PRO Talent Fund award in Shiawassee County for 2021 at $155,550. These funds were intended for hiring new employees for their expanding in-home-care business as well as training and upskilling.
Over the course of 2021, which still included a partial shut-down and other mandates, Right at Home was able to bring on and train employees as planned. The pandemic hit the healthcare industry extremely hard with attrition so much so that some in-home-health care companies shut down - not Right at Home! Although they had some employees leave due to childcare issues, health reasons, and quarantines they were able to maintain their client base and continue to grow.
Due to the extenuating employment market, Right at Home was not able to take advantage of the full award but did receive $51,755. By the completion of the award year, Right at Home was able to hire twenty (20) new employees, offer Covid Training, Leadership training, and HHA training. All of this has benefited both the employees as well as the clients. As things are opening back up Right at Home is back on tract.
