Frameworks & Learning
Building the tools and programs that transform workforce culture in senior living.
Coming Soon
Workforce Training Programs
Cronte Care Advisory is developing two licensable workforce training programs for senior living organizations. Both programs are designed to work alongside your existing clinical onboarding not replace it. We cover what clinical training was never built to address.
PROGRAM ONE
APTRP
Aide Professional Thriving & Retention Program
If clinical onboarding teaches caregivers how to provide care, APTRP teaches them how to thrive in the profession. It addresses the non-clinical aspects of caregiving that influence retention, workplace culture, professionalism, and long-term success.
CNAS
HHAS
RAS
Care Aides
PROGRAM TWO
NPTRP
Nurse Professional Thriving & Retention Program
Clinical training makes a nurse. NPTRP makes a leader. A professional development program built around the leadership, communication, and team culture skills that determine whether good clinicians stay, grow, and bring out the best in the teams they lead.
CHARGE NURSES
FLOOR MANAGERS
SUPERVISORS
Both programs are available for facility licensing. Contact us to be notified when enrollment opens.
