At Careforce by PEAK Solutions Management, we understand that starting a new caregiving job can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s why we’ve developed the Compass Mentorship Program—a comprehensive 90-day onboarding and support plan designed to guide caregivers through their early days, equipping them with the skills and confidence and providing the necessary resources to help them thrive in their responsibilities.
What is the Compass Mentorship Program?
The Compass Mentorship Program begins on the caregiver’s first day during onboarding and orientation. The program is structured to provide step-by-step training, hands-on education, and continuous support throughout the caregiver’s first 90 days of employment. The goal is to ensure every caregiver feels confident, skilled, and fully prepared to provide top-notch care to clients.
Program Breakdown: A 90-Day Journey to Success

Caregivers meet their dedicated Certified Mentor, who will guide them through the first 90 days, offering personalized support and ensuring all questions are addressed from the start.
