OnTrack Reaches Major Milestones – 10,000 Aides Trained and New TMA Pathway Approved

On December 2, 2025 by Anna Mowry

This year, the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation reached a transformational milestone in our commitment to build and sustain a strong caregiving workforce.

More than 10,000 individuals have now enrolled in OnTrack, our hybrid-online nursing assistant training program designed to open doors, remove barriers, and empower people to begin meaningful careers in aging services. 

LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation’s OnTrack, powered by EduCare, is a model of nursing assistant training specifically designed for aging services. What began in 2018 as an innovative approach to nursing assistant training has become a statewide engine for opportunity—growing into one of the most widely used and trusted workforce development tools in Minnesota’s aging services sector.

New Curriculum—OnTrack TMA

This year also marks an important next chapter for our training ecosystem. We are pleased to share that the Minnesota Department of Health has approved our new curriculum, OnTrackTMA, expanding our pathway for future caregivers and supporting the professional growth of current staff. Beginning in January 2026, this new offering will help more individuals advance into Trained Medication Aide roles—an essential step in strengthening workforce capacity and enhancing the quality of care across aging services.

As we look ahead to 2026, the Foundation remains committed to strengthening the workforce pipeline—one caregiver at a time. We extend our gratitude to all members and partners who make this work possible.
