The Skills Initiative

This week, participants in our CNA program in partnership with Penn Medicine enjoyed a 3 day-tour visiting HUP, Presbyterian, and Pennsylvania Hospital. They were able to hear from HR, Nursing Leadership, and established CNAs. We finished each day with professional development session focusing on workplace personalities (DiSC), Growth Mindset, and Customer Service.

Deadline extended!
