I do the same training. My staff also does the vulnerable sector check at a cost to them, which is probably $20. There was another cost. I can't remember it now, but CPR....
I would like at least 12 weeks for most of my staff. Because we're talking about teens with disabilities who don't want to leave their houses, we do a lot of nurturing. Everyone I hire, almost in February, does volunteer work for me throughout the year, if they can, in some way or the other, to prove they want to be part of my community and to have that job. That's how I do my training.
I only a run a six-week program so that I could do a week of training and a week of follow-up at the end to see what everyone learned and what they liked. I do a lot of feedback and surveys in person, because no one does it online. Twelve weeks would be great.
I'd also like two positions—I know Mr. Pederson would too—of 20 weeks for a director who can run it, so I don't have to anymore. I'd like to pass it on, but it's hard to do that if you don't have the positions to pass on to.
Twenty weeks, 12 weeks and a couple of eights, and we're good.
