FAQs
Did you know that many senior care employers cover the costs for nursing assistant training and testing? Your journey to becoming a nursing assistant could start by reaching out to your local employer of choice. For valuable resources and guidance on pursuing a career in caregiving, visit Caring Careers Start Here.
We also encourage you to contact your local Minnesota CareerForce Center to check out their training and support programs. Depending upon your circumstances, there may be state or federal funds that can help you gain the skills you need to find a job and advance your career (example: money to help people who were laid off from work, services for people with disabilities, etc.). Contact a CareerForce representative to see if you qualify for the programs below or other assistance:
- Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
WIOA helps pay for training to give workers a chance to learn the skills and knowledge needed to compete in the new economy. If you are eligible for the WIOA program, look for courses marked "W-E" in the course title. These courses have been certified as eligible for WIOA funding. - Dislocated Worker Funds
If you were laid off (or notified that a layoff is coming) through no fault of your own, you might be eligible for career development, job search, and other services.
Already working in healthcare? Many employees are surprised to learn that their employer will pay for education and training. Contact your supervisor or human resources representative to ask about tuition reimbursement or other benefits available to you.
