Dear Admissions Team,
I am writing to express my interest in applying for the Vocational Training Program in Geriatric Care. Having a strong passion for supporting elderly individuals with a desire to build up my career in healthcare, this program promises to imbue me with those skills and knowledge that shall make a positive difference in the lives of the elderly.
I am a holder of a Diploma in Food and Beverage Management from Nairobi Technical Training Institute, which practically equipped me in hospitality and customer service. In addition, I have a Certificate in Tourism and Wildlife Management from Maasai Mara University, adding value to my experience in diverse environments and the need for compassionate care. These learning experiences, combined with my innate empathetic nature and strong communication skills, have driven me to want to work in geriatric care.
Although I have never worked professionally as a nurse or in geriatric care, I have volunteer experience that has helped me develop my caregiving skills. In early 2022, I volunteered as a teacher at Olkeri Primary School in Narok, where I assisted in educating children and learned the importance of patience, understanding, and adaptability. Further, being a youth mentor at St. Mark's ACK Church in Narok, leading group discussions and emotionally supporting young people is a skill I believe will transfer quite well to working with elderly individuals.
In addition, I am interested in learning about the physical and emotional care needs of the elderly. I believe this program will afford me the opportunity to gain practical experience in patient care, communication, and health monitoring that I can implement in my professional and personal life.
I am particularly interested in this training because it goes in line with my desire to contribute to the well-being of elderly people, promoting their independence and enhancing the quality of life. I am ready to commit to this program with enthusiasm and dedication, and I look forward to the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you and am happy to provide any additional information if needed.
