In general, 95.9% of them required the vocational training. The caregivers of old people are the ones mostly completing secondary education and enjoying caring people. They qualified their job as pleasant but tiring. Although the number of people receiving vocation training is not very high, most of them think that these trainings will increase the job opportunities and consider them as necessary. They require that employees other than doctors and nursing and working for health and rehabilitation of old people should be the trainers in these trainings.
