Educate. Empower. Enrich.
ClearPath Cares Academy is how our care team learns, grows and earns real credentials, including the Personal Care Assistance (PCA) and CFSS certification approved by the State of Minnesota.
Minnesota's Department of Human Services offers the official Personal Care Assistance (PCA) and Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) training and test at no cost. We help our care team members register, prepare and finish it, then recognize that credential in the work we offer and the pay we build around it.

ClearPath Cares Academy offers eligible team members the opportunity to receive full scholarship funding toward a 2 to 4 year RN nursing degree program. If nursing is where your heart is headed, we would love to help you get there.
Invest in your future. Grow your career with ClearPath.
Eligibility requirements apply, including time with ClearPath, good standing, program acceptance and a continued service commitment. Talk with a coordinator to learn more.
Our Companion Care course covers the things you will actually use when caring for someone at home, including communication, safety, boundaries, documentation, dignity and meaningful companionship. But more than anything, we want our caregivers to understand how to create a positive experience for the person they are caring for.
Companion Care → PCA/CFSS → CNA → Care Coordinator → RN. There is no one path you have to follow. You may find a role you love and stay there, or you may decide you are ready to learn something new. As ClearPath grows, we want our team to have opportunities to learn, build new skills, earn credentials and continue growing with us.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you come to us. We welcome people at different stages of their caregiving journey. Whether you already have experience or you are looking for a place to begin, we want you to feel supported as you learn what comes next.
Educate. Empower. Enrich.
