Training The Next Generation Of Skilled Workers

Coconut Telegraph

Several Booker Middle School students are now one step closer to fulfilling their dreams of becoming Certified Nursing Assistants. The class of 11 newly pinned nursing assistants is the second cohort to graduate from the CareerEdge and United Way Suncoast Booker Middle School Resource Center’s CNA program. The program was implemented to assist families in becoming financially stable and self sufficient, create access to career-laddering opportunities and begin a new chapter in their lives.
