Programs & Initiatives / Aging

Aging

The Aging Initiative consists of a statewide coalition of key stakeholders representing the academic community and providers from the public and private sectors. Its purpose is to develop a statewide plan with specific strategies to address the need for building the training and education capacity, creating incentives for attracting students, and improving the diversity of the workforce.

Mission and Goals

Mission

The overarching mission of the CalSWEC Aging Initiative (AI) is the development of a competent, diverse workforce to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population of aging Californians and their families.

2012 Aging Initiative Summit

On September 19, 2012, CalSWEC hosted a summit themed "The Road Ahead: Advocating for Social Work Service Delivery in Aging," which brought together a diverse group of leaders in gerontological social work practice and education.

Curriculum and Training Resources

Over the coming months, the Aging Initiative will be building a comprehensive curriculum and training resource library. Our goal is to create a one-stop resource that highlights the work of our university and Aging and adult Services partners.
