Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) Training
St. Louis’ health care sites have a great and growing unmet need for qualified health care support staff. Because of this we are helping immigrants enter jobs in the health care field, which has many career ladders and opportunities.
In our CNA Program, we train immigrants for careers in hospital and nursing home settings. Several times per year, we offer a 12-week training course. Training is team-taught by state certified nursing professionals along with a qualified ESOL instructor. Classroom and lab sessions are offered at our training site at 4131 S. Grand Blvd. Past clinical training has been offered at Beauvais Manor Nursing Center and at Oak Knoll Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The program is certified to operate by the Missouri Department of Higher Education.
Low-income, work-authorized immigrants, including refugees, are eligible for enrollment. If applicants meet income and length of residence requirements, they can enroll without cost. Costs are underwritten by a variety of public and private sources, including the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) - Employment Training Section of the State of Missouri as well as the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the US Department of Health and Human Services. A sliding fee scale is offered for immigrants who are not qualified for remission.
