| CNA program: There are so many fields you can go into after this
|

Megan K. Baker stumbled on Training Resources of America Inc.'s office here and went on to complete its certified nurse aide-home health aide program.
"I was raising my daughter and I thought it was time to do something," the 23-year-old Holyoke woman said following her graduation ceremony Friday in the program's High Street office. "Actually, I was walking down the street one day and I saw them."
She was one of 11 from the area to complete the eight-week course.
Baker, who brought her 1-year-old daughter Lilliana E. Santiago to the ceremony, said she hopes to get a job as a certified nurse assistant at Wingate nursing home in South Hadley. She and other program participants did classroom work and training there.
"There are so many fields you can go into after this. This is a foot in the door," Baker said.
Becoming a registered nurse is Baker's ultimate goal.
"I enjoy helping others. This is my calling," Baker said.
"They thought they were never going to get through it, but they all graduated and they did a great job," said Maryellen M. Ciocca, a registered nurse and the program's instructor.
All 11 participants passed their state examination also.
The program's job developer, Judie D. Seigiel, said she hopes to have all the graduates placed in employment within a month.
Desiree M. Leclair, Western Massachusetts regional manager for Training Resources of America Inc., said such programs are important in difficult financial times like these. They help people get jobs so they can improve their economic circumstances, she said.
The program is funded by the state Department of Transitional Assistance through the Hampden Regional Employment Board. Participants get intensive classroom instruction along with laboratory and clinical work and work readiness training. The program has graduated more than 460 students since its inception in 1994. source
