Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Healthcare Career Training Program
The Dwyer Workforce Development program begins with a 9-week Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) job training and certification program. Graduates of the CNA program are then invited to participate in the 13-week Geriatric Nursing Assistant (GNA) job training and certification program, or jump immediately into the workforce with our job placement services.
CNA and GNA classes are offered at convenient locations in the communities we serve, and our wraparound services give students the support they need to meet their classroom requirements.
