Senior Caregiver Education, Training, Professional Development, & Certification
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to continue learning, sharpen their existing skills, and develop new ones, no matter what stage of their career or level they have reached. Learning is a life-long process that includes continuous improvement and development. This applies not only to Individuals but to companies, organizations, and institutions holistically as they create and/or enhance a culture of a “learning organization.”
Education, Training, Professional Development, and Certification take many forms, formal and informal, and structured as well as unstructured. Therefore, WeCare4® seeks to provide a wide range of resources to help meet the education and professional development needs of its members at all stages of their careers.
WeCare4® brings together a wide range of experience, expertise, and academic resources, including extensive education and professional development experience of its founder and advisory board members who currently and/or have previously held key positions with companies and organizations both large and small.
WeCare4® provides our members with timely and relevant content and other support resources in critical areas such as:
- Thought Leadership through access to:
- Research, Publications, and Market Intelligence
- Various Membership Communities
- Meetings and Events
- Virtual
- In-Person
- WeCare4® Forum
- Communities (Open & Member Only) for informal learning, sharing of ideas, and perspectives
- Access to WeCare4® Career Center for companies, organizations, and institutions looking for talent and for individuals looking to obtain a new position and/or advance their career
- Companies/Organizations can post positions and candidates can view and apply for these positions, including those posted in the National Healthcare Career Network (NHCN), a web-based network of association-sponsored online career centers that share job listings, resumes, and career development content
- Access to other Career Center resources and tools

WeCare4®, Stockton Create Partnership to Support Family and Professional Caregivers
February 10, 2026
Galloway, N.J. — Stockton University and WeCare4®, a national leader in caregiver education and support, have announced a new partnership designed to develop, promote and deliver innovative education, professional development and certification programs for family and professional caregivers.
“The opportunity to work with Stockton University to develop and deliver much‑needed programs for family, friend and professional caregivers is truly exciting. Together, we will help fill a critical gap in the resources available to the caregiver community,” said Carol Greco, WeCare4® founder and CEO. “The knowledge and experience of the Stockton team will complement ours and together we can provide caregivers the best possible education, training, and certification programs, as well as our emerging WeCare4® Trusted Advisor™ Program.”
The agreement also calls for the development of candidates for the WeCare4® Trusted Advisor™ Program, training students in Stockton’s School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Stockton Center on Successful Aging (SOCSA). Stockton students, staff, faculty and alumni will also have access to WeCare4®’s comprehensive community platform, portfolio of resources and Job Board/Career Center as part of the new partnership.
“We are grateful to Carol and John Greco and incredibly excited about this outstanding opportunity to partner with WeCare4®,” said Michael Palladino, Stockton’s provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “We look forward to supporting a noble and impactful mission to help caregivers and their loved ones."
WeCare4® will also work with SCOSA to establish an online micro-credential educational program designed to support family and friend caregivers, professional caregivers and eldercare professionals.
The program will offer high-quality, modular, on-demand online courses, allowing participants to select focused learning units aligned with their needs and interests. Learners may complete individual modules or pursue stackable micro-credentials and certificates, including the WeCare Certificate in Professional Eldercare (WCPE) and the WeCare Trusted Advisor™ Certificate (WTAC), co-branded with Stockton University.
“This collaboration allows Stockton University to showcase our expertise in aging, caregiving and applied education to a broader audience while maintaining academic rigor and accessibility,” said SCOSA Director Christine Ferri. “By partnering with WeCare, we are creating flexible, evidence-based learning opportunities that respond to the real-world challenges caregivers face.”
Content will be developed by SCOSA’s team of aging and caregiving specialists in collaboration with WeCare4® subject-matter experts, drawing on best practices in gerontology, psychology, social work, eldercare management and related fields. The collaboration also includes outreach to employers, with programs made available through Employee Assistance Programs and group pricing options to support working caregivers.
