Aspirus seeks applicants for paid CNA training program

Metro Wire Staff

Aspirus Health System is now accepting applicants for its paid CNA training program in Wausau. Accepted students will be enrolled in classes at Northcentral Technical College and will receive training to be a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Applications are due by April 30, with the first training session scheduled to begin May 30. There are 10 seats available in the May program class.

The accelerated program allows participants to receive the education and experience needed to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, with added financial support to help guarantee success. When accepted into the program, participants receive paid tuition, course materials, scrubs and a stipend that will allow them to dedicate full-time attention to training for their new career.

“Because CNA’s play such a critical part of quality healthcare, Aspirus sees this as an investment in the health of our community,” said Aspirus Talent Delivery Partner, Brooke Pliska. “CNA’s do such meaningful work, interacting directly with patients and aiding them with daily living activities.”

Once an individual has completed classes, a clinical rotation at Aspirus Wausau Hospital and certification exams, they will be offered a full-or-part-time CNA position within the Aspirus system.

“We encourage anyone who is interested in starting a career in healthcare to explore this unique opportunity,” Pliska said.
