In a proactive move to address healthcare staffing shortages in South Georgia, Archbold is offering a fully-funded, paid Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program through a partnership with Southern Regional Technical College. With applications open until June 9 and classes starting on August 19, this initiative promises to be a game-changer for rural medical centers struggling with staffing hurdles.
Supported by a $100,000 investment from the Archbold Foundation, the program not only covers tuition, books, and uniforms but also provides trainees with hourly wages. Participants will earn $13 per hour during instruction and be guaranteed job placement at Archbold locations, where they will earn $16.05 per hour upon certification.
“About 40% of our current CNAs have come through this program, illustrating its vital role in opening doors for students and filling critical staffing needs," Human Resources Coordinator Chelsie Cosby remarked. The focus is on finding candidates with a "big heart and a capacity to serve."
CNA Erica Love, who commutes to pursue her passion, emphasized the emotional fulfillment this career provides. Director of Long-Term Care, Tina Bates, also noted the impact of financial support during training.
