140-G. The ROAD to Building Your Workforce Through Internships

Senior living communities seeking to strengthen their workforce must take deliberate steps to reach younger workers who may not yet view aging services as an attractive career path. This session will highlight a program that can help. The Rotational Operations and Development (ROAD) talent development model invites young interns to explore the full range of career opportunities in aging services through internship rotations across various departments such as operations, dining, marketing, resident services, and more. LeadingAge members who are using the ROAD model, along with interns who've participated in it, will share their experiences. You'll gain the tools you need to attract Gen Z team members to your organization and to our field.
