What can you do now to prepare?
- Meet with your provider networks and share the news that soon the state will be urging the adoption of this tool.
- Share this resource with your other LTSS agencies for cross-agency collaboration so that they can also use the data for planning.
- Develop a marketing campaign so that workers know that Direct Care Careers is the way to apply for jobs in long-term services and supports.
- Have meetings with the associations and unions representing the various LTSS workers to highlight the website and encourage participation.
- Partner with your workforce and licensing boards to get the message out to potential candidates/workers who may be able to fill some of the necessary positions and ask them to direct traffic to the website.
- If your state has already launched a website similar to this, consider redirecting the website to DirectCareCareers.com to take advantage of the sophisticated algorithms in the software.
