Northern Essex Community College is joining with area health care employers to meet an urgent need for certified nurse assistants and is now recruiting for free, grant-funded programs beginning in May, June and August.
After completing the four-week training, graduates are prepared to take the Massachusetts Red Cross Nurse Aide Certification Exam. The college’s Center for Corporate and Community Education was able to bring the program back after the COVID-19 outbreak last year forced it to cancel its grant-funded CNA Training Program.
