August 6, 2009 GOODWILL GRADUATES SECOND CLASS OF CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT TRAINING PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS On Thursday, August 13, 2009, at 12:30 pm, Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands SC will host a graduation ceremony at its main office on Haywood Road for the second class of participants in Goodwill’s new Nursing Assistant Training Program. These nine individuals have successfully completed classroom and supervised clinical training in the fundamentals of safe and knowledgeable care giving. The training program also features instruction in Work Readiness Skills. Goodwill graduated its first class of six Nursing Assistants in April 2009. Five of the six graduates have already been placed into competitive employment. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) may readily find work in this high-demand, high-growth field, securing jobs in hospitals, long-term care facilities (nursing homes), care homes, private homes, adult day cares and clinics. Goodwill Industries began offering a Nursing Assistant Training Program in partnership with Advance Nursing Education Center in February 2009. The program is focused on preparing students for the state certification exam, as well as on providing job skills and developing the attitudes and behaviors necessary for students to become competent caregivers. Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina helps people with disabilities and disadvantages become self-sufficient citizens through job training and job placement. Last year, Goodwill assisted 17,894 people in their quest for independence and created a potential economic impact of over $47 million through the wages of the 2,839 people placed into employment.
