In January, the state Department of Health Services (DHS) announced that they now offer their certified direct care professional (CDCP) training program in the Hmong language, in addition to English and Spanish.  CDCPs provide personal/supportive home care to senior citizens and disabled people.

Wisconsinites interested in receiving the CDCP certification may sign up to receive free training and then will need to pass an online test in order to be certified.  Certified individuals who obtain employment with an eligible employer may earn up to $500 in combined hiring and retention bonuses. 

More information may be found on the DHS website.
