SEARHC plans to offer a paid, six-week, on-the-job training program in Wrangell in June for certified nursing assistants (CNAs).
After successful completion of the program, a student is eligible to sit for the state certification exam. As of last Friday, the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium had openings posted on its website for eight nursing assistant jobs in Wrangell.
“CNAs are an important part of our workforce, with 20-plus on staff at any time,” said Carly Allen, hospital administrator.
“The course is a hybrid of in-person lecture, online courses, skills lab and clinical experience. This is a great opportunity to get started in the health care field. … This is paid training — make money while you learn,” SEARHC said in a statement.
“After passing the state exam and receiving CNA certification, participants are eligible for full-time employment with SEARHC.”
For more information or to apply for the training program, contact the human resources office at 907-874-7000.
