Most common challenges that prevent caregivers from completing their annual training:

57% – Can’t make it to the scheduled classes (competing obligations, child care, multiple jobs, etc.)

39% – Trouble commuting to the office

Caregivers may live in rural areas or have difficulty getting to the office or classroom for the training.

33% – The content is repetitive and no longer challenging or valuable

When content is repetitive, caregivers can feel bored or that their time is being wasted.
