On-the-job learning benefits worker

BY AMBER ROHDE
GJCTS SENIOR

The health assistant program at Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center has provided me with the skills and training that I needed to receive my Nurse Aide Certification (CNA). As a result, I was able to enroll in the Co-operative Education Program.

The program has allowed me to attend my home school district, Richland, and enter the work force.

I was able to work, and I made money.

Since June 2007, I have worked at the Golden Living Center in Richland as a nurse aide.

Golden Living is like my second home. I enjoy the care and learning experience that comes with my job.

After high school, I am going to continue my education and training at a post secondary school to become a registered nurse.

This school year, I received an award from the state Department of Education for having demonstrated high achievement on a NOCTI skills test in nursing assistant.

I also was nominated for Student Health Hero by Southern Alleghenies Workforce Investment Board for being employed as a nurse aide during my sophomore to senior years of high school.
