Goodwill Week: Meet the CNAs

Every seven weeks Goodwill hosts one of our most popular vocational training programs.

The Certified Nurse Assistant program is an opportunity for individuals in our community to provide for themselves and their families. The best part is that, due to a partnership between Goodwill and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training Program, the class is free to individuals with SNAP benefits!

Our most recent graduating class is raving about their experiences:
