Hello, Gregg -
Here in Massachusetts we have funded the Extended Care Career Ladder Initiative (ECCLI) for several years to support development of front-line long term care workers.  The program has been administered by Commonwealth Corporation (a quasi-governmental workforce development organization).  Our website houses information on the initiative but also a number of resources related to this work.

Go to www.commcorp.org<http://www.commcorp.org>     ECCLI can be found in the Sector Projects section.
Within the ECCLI Virtual Library, you'll find resources such as these that may be of interest:
