Youth Skills Training Grant

SSC Career Navigators are working with our members and community partners to pilot a regional Certified Nursing Assistant pathway program that delivers high school credit, offers a credential, and supports the workforce needs of our rural communities. We need feedback to validate our research on the delivery models that your high school would be in most favor of.
