CLEVERLEARN Caregiving Program

The easier way to work abroad
is to become a CAREGIVER. 
Today, profound changes are
seen in almost every corner of
the globe. The ever growing
population and the lifestyle have
brought about an alarming insufficiency
of social support through out the
world.
Cleverlearn English Language Institute
(CELI) is committed to help fill the
gap through the Caregiver Program.
It provides comprehensive training to
produce certified live– in caregivers.
Live– in caregivers are individuals
qualified to provide assistance to
children and elderly as well as to
persons with disabilities in private
homes without supervision.

Objectives

To produce certified live– in caregivers who are highly competent and
competitive to provide assistance to children and elderly as well as to
persons with disabilities and dependable in the field of caregiving.
To equip students with effective communication skills using English language.

As people live longer in developed countries, the percentage of the elderly population is increasing. In Japan, by the year 2040, the percentage of the elderly rises to 44.70%; that is almost half the population of Japan. In the UK and Canada, it will rise up to 33% and so with the other developed European countries. A large population of elderly has a greater need of healthcare and so this means there is a big market and need for caregivers all over the world.

As the years go by, the lifestyle of the people living in these developed countries will change. Family members will no longer have time to care for a sick or elder family member.
This, therefore, presents an opportunity for the trained caregiver in these countries. The trained caregiver will take the place of the family member who cannot take care of these patients.

With the shift in style also, both parents feel the need to work. A problem in who takes care of the child arises. This is where the trained caregivers comes in. The trained caregiver will take care of the children whose parents are both working.

These job opportunities in developed countries are steadily increasing over the years. The demand for health caregivers poses a very good market for jobs in the developed countries.

This is why we, at Cleverlearn, feel the need of extending this training to people for a brighter future.
