Expanding Workforce Partnerships CALA also continued building bridges with workforce organizations that connect senior living employers with qualified job seekers. At the ELL Healthcare Pathways North/Far North Regional convening in January, Lyndee Whaley, executive director at Oakmont of Carmichael , highlighted senior living workforce needs, in-demand roles and career pathways for English Language Learners. The presentation generated strong interest including invitations for future collaboration. CALA and Argentum also presented to the employer engagement managers at the Inland Empire Desert Region Consortium. The time was spent sharing information about in-demand senior living positions and ways workforce partners can connect students and job seekers with CALA members. In Los Angeles, CALA members participated in an Employer Roundtable Webinar with the City of Los Angeles Employment and Workforce Development Department and AdvantAGE LA to discuss employer needs and opportunities for targeted workforce support.
