OVERVIEW

Interested in a career where you can take care of others? In our Nurse Assisting Registered Apprenticeship Program, all your educational costs will be covered and you’ll gain the skills you need to provide basic care to patients, take vital signs, and assist patients in daily activities they might have trouble with on their own. You will also gain paid work experience and industry mentoring when you become an apprentice.

This Nurse Assisting Registered Apprenticeship program will help expand upon your Nurse Assisting Certificate, support your preparation for the state certification exam, obtain work experience from an employer invested in the growth of their employees, and take additional Nursing pathway courses. 

Upon completion of the Nurse Assisting program, apply to be an apprentice with our employer partners and start your paid apprenticeship. During your one-year (approximately) apprenticeship program, you will take two additional courses alongside your on-the-job learning to complete the US Department of Labor registered apprenticeship program. Employers and apprentices will work together to develop a schedule that provides a balance for work and courses, ensuring successful completion.
