New Americans Fellowship for Leadership in Long-Term Care

Level Up Your Career!

The New Americans Fellowship for Leadership in Long-Term Care is a professional development program designed to support individuals who were born outside the United States and/or their children and are currently working in Minnesota’s long-term care field.

This fellowship provides training, mentorship, and career guidance to help participants grow their skills, advance into leadership roles, and strengthen the long-term care workforce.

Program Purpose

Long-term care providers across Minnesota are experiencing workforce shortages and increasing demand for culturally responsive care. This program aims to:

  • Support New Americans in building successful long-term care careers
  • Increase diversity in leadership within the LTC workforce
  • Improve employee retention and job satisfaction
  • Strengthen career pathways for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) and related roles
  • Build a more inclusive and culturally responsive workforce

This program is offered by ARRM in partnership with STAR Services, Inc. Funding for this program has been provided by the New Americans Long-Term Care Workforce Grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services
