What is E-Force For Caregivers?

E-Force is a training system based on the philosophy that…

Empathy 
     Energy
           Experience
                  Empowerment
=Enlightened Performance

Designed for entry level and line staff, E-Force is unlike most trainings. It is intimate, interactive, and we work hard to get to the real life issues facing your workers to give them hands-on solutions they can put to work as soon as they leave the room.

The Community of Care initiative offers locally provided training for the direct care workforce.

• It's fast (about 2 hours per module).
• It's effective (employers report much better performance for those who participate).
• It's efficient (we come to you!).
• And, it’s inexpensive (let's talk).
  

The Community of Care began providing E-Force training as the result of a workforce development grant through the Oregon Office of Community Colleges and Workforce Development. This project proved so successful that we have been asked to deliver it wherever the need is presented and a provider will support it.

Call Doug Overlock at 541.910.3684 or e-mail dougo@chdinc.org for more information or to set up a training session for your employees.

1.  Working in a team environment.
