MGS Awarded Funding to Develop Gerontology Continuing Education Certificate Program
The Minnesota Gerontological Society (MGS) is pleased to announce that it has received funding to develop a new Gerontology Continuing Education Certificate Program. As Minnesota's older adult population continues to grow, the need for accessible, high-quality gerontology education is increasingly important. With some colleges and universities reducing or eliminating gerontology programs, new opportunities for education and workforce development are essential. The certificate program will help strengthen the knowledge and skills of those who support older adults and their families, with an emphasis on understanding aging, person-centered practices, and the diverse needs of older adults. MGS will develop and implement the program in partnership with the Minnesota Elder Justice Center, creating opportunities for practical continuing education that supports Minnesota's aging services workforce. |
This initiative reflects MGS's longstanding commitment to advancing gerontology education, fostering collaboration, and strengthening services and supports for older adults throughout Minnesota.
We look forward to sharing updates as the program takes shape, including opportunities to get involved!
The MGS Gerontology Continuing Education Certificate Program is supported by funding from the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging and the Minnesota Board on Aging.
