Encore Care

The workforce infrastructure behind Encore Care.

Every home care agency competes for trained caregivers. Encore Care builds its own.

A five-week program that trains, certifies, and employs the caregivers Encore Care needs to grow at exponential scale.

The opportunity

America's fastest growing occupation.

60,000+ Ohio openings by 2033.

Home Health Aide is the single fastest-growing job in the US. Ohio alone projects 60,000+ new HHA roles by 2033. The training market is fragmented, paper-based, and stuck at federal minimums and every home care operator will eventually need to solve this. Encore Care already has.

The career pathway

Retention infrastructure-every graduate has five rungs ahead of them.

The career ladder turns graduate turnover into graduate retention. Every rung above HHA is also future platform revenue: the Academy will add CNA in 2027, expand from there, and each new certification runs on the same infrastructure we already own. Employer-provided tuition support at each step keeps graduates on Encore

Care's roster.

Why this wins

Encore Care built the training, the software, and the employment pipeline in-house. Together, they compound.

Employer-integrated

Encore Care hires every eligible graduate. Training is a supply investment, not a tuition business.

Incentives no third-party school can match.

Evidence-first credentials

Every credential is signed,

timestamped, cryptographically

auditable. In a market full of paper- based fraud, ours stand up.

Regulators trust what they can

verify.

Software we own

The tablet and coordinator system

is not a rebranded LMS. We built

both. Every new cohort, every new

market runs on the same code.

Scale accretes to us, not a vendor.

Public capital efficiency

WIOA and Ohio Means Jobs cover student tuition. Encore Care

recovers cost through employment.

Public-private capital flow at the

core of the model.
