Training:
A Place At Home's franchise training program is designed to support owners through two distinct phases of business development: **Onboarding** and **Ongoing Support**. From the day a franchise agreement is signed, each franchisee is paired with an Onboarding & Training Manager who serves as their primary guide through the pre-opening process. This structured onboarding period is delivered primarily through virtual training sessions and focuses on preparing owners to successfully launch their business. Topics include home care licensing, technology and operating systems, office site selection, vendor setup, recruiting fundamentals, compliance requirements, and an introduction to the home care industry and A Place At Home's operating model.

The onboarding experience culminates with an immersive week of in-person training at the company's headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. During this hands-on training, franchisees work directly with corporate leaders to reinforce the systems they've learned, practice key operational processes, and develop the business development skills that drive early growth. Rather than remaining in the classroom, owners actively market within the Omaha community, gaining practical experience building referral relationships and applying the sales strategies they will use in their own territories.

Following Grand Opening, franchisees transition into the **Ongoing Support** phase and are assigned a dedicated Franchise Business Coach. While the Onboarding & Training Manager is responsible for preparing owners to launch, the Franchise Business Coach is responsible for helping them grow and scale their business over the long term. Within approximately 60 days of opening, each new franchise owner receives an in-market coaching visit, where their coach works alongside them in their local territory to reinforce best practices, evaluate progress, and provide hands-on guidance tailored to their business. Coaching continues throughout the life of the franchise, ensuring owners have ongoing access to strategic guidance, operational expertise, accountability, and growth planning as their business evolves.
