Nurse Aide Training
Overview
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 200,000 job openings for nurse aides/nursing assistants are projected each year from 2024-2034. Job prospects for nurse aides with formal training and certification are excellent, particularly in long-term care facilities and hospitals.
Many individuals may want to begin healthcare careers as nurse aides, but may lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to successfully complete the state-approved training and testing. Employment Skills Center trains potential candidates to better prepare them to excel in healthcare training and careers.
The Pre-Nurse Aide classes run for 2 weeks followed by 3-4 weeks of state-approved nurse aide training. Students who successfully complete our Pre-Nurse Aide class will earn a scholarship to attend CNA training with a state-approved training provider.
Upon Program Completion
After completing our Pre-Nurse Aide program, qualified participants are awarded scholarships to continue on to the state-approved Nurse Aide course, preparing them for the Nurse Aide Registry certification examination. Math, science, reading, life skills, basic nursing concepts and the professional environment as well as workplace skills are taught to maximize career success. In order to better cope and serve the demands of caring for others, a reinforcement of personal life skills, such as managing stress, teamwork and self-esteem, is also an essential part of the training.
Many of our graduates are now a valuable part of nursing homes and health home care services in our area. Our graduates tend to remain on the job for a longer period of time thereby being of added value to the organizations that hire them.
Post-hire we’re still here for you…
Employment Skills Center continues to monitor and assist students, when needed, to successfully complete their CNA program. Our instructor is involved in all aspects of our students’ training and journey to employment.
Once employed, we will continue to work with graduates, as needed, to see that they are applying their new skills in the workplace.
