| customized CNA training program
|

If someone would have asked Naomi Sheggeby a few years ago if she would have been able to get a certified nurses assistant certification and begin working on her GED, she would have likely said no.
But, she didn't know Pat Thomas and the staff of Marshall Adult Basic Education then.
Sheggeby, along with Carrie Jones of Marshall and 11 other students, recently completed their CNAs through a customized training program with Marshall ABE and Minnesota West.
Jones and Sheggeby met a formidable ally in Thomas and the ABE staff when they came to the office to apply for the CNA class.
Thomas said the customized program allows students to improve the skills they will need as they take the Minnesota West CNA course. If students need to improve math or other skills, they can do that while they study the CNA course, Thomas said. Students are assessed on skill levels such a literacy to identify need area and to ensure they can succeed in the CNA program, Thomas said.
"It relieved some of the stress," Jones said of entering the CNA program.
She has a learning disability which made school work tough in high school, Jones said.
Sheggeby left high school before she graduated. School was tough because she found it hard to stay focused, Sheggeby said.
"Here, we'd read things together, we get our questions answered," Jones said of the customized CNA program.
"We studied in class," Sheggeby said. "They just didn't throw things on you and tell you to go home and study."
The combination of classroom study and the additional ABE help made them comfortable with studying at home, Jones and Sheggeby said.
And Thomas saw how the two women grew confident and began to think of more they could do.
Jones is thinking of additional coursework to be certificated to handle medications. Eventually, she'd like to pursue an LPN or RN nursing degree.
"I didn't think I'd ever get my CNA," Sheggeby said. "I just now started my GED in the last week-and-a-half."
The GED is another goal Sheggeby said wouldn't have happened without the ABE and Minnesota West program.
ABE and Minnesota West are offering another customized CNA program in February. Students must be customers of Marshall ABE, working in one of their skills programs such as GED, Thomas said.
To Thomas, the program opens doors potential students believed were closed or didn't even know existed - students like Jones and Sheggeby, she said.
The two women are now looking for jobs.
"We've got our foot in the door," Sheggeby said.
"We're halfway there," Jones said.
And that's much farther than before they started source
