Enrolment and Application for Training Subsidy |
| |
| |
- The Scheme is designed for Home Managers, Health Workers and Care Workers currently working in RCHEs and RCHDs. Home operators shall nominate their staff for enrolment in relevant courses and pay the specified course fees. Should the trainees successfully complete the courses approved by this Department and are awarded graduate certificates under the Scheme, the home operators may apply to this Department for reimbursement of the course fees in full.
|
| |
- Besides, training allowance will be provided to the RCHEs and RCHDs concerned in order to maintain their operation through appropriate manpower deployment when their health workers and care workers attend the Advanced Training for Health Workers and Training for Care Workers, as well as to provide on-site training support and conduct on-the-job assessment for the trainees.
