District 1199C Recruiting Students for FREE Home Health Aide/ESL Program
Posting on behalf of District 1199C Training and Upgrading Fund:
Please see the attached flyer for our upcoming, FREE home health aide/ESL program. Students will study with an RN instructor and an ESL instructor to study core healthcare skills, caretaking skills, nursing career pathways, and medical/caregiving English for free with on-site, hands-on instruction. The course is scheduled from September 23 - December 20.
To participate, students must:
- Score an NRS level 6 on CASAS Life and Work or Reading STEPS exam (we will administer if the student does not have a valid test for this program year)
- Attend a short pre-session of regular ESL class in our IELCE program
- Have a social security card and state ID
- Get a physical and two-step PPD test as part of the enrollment process (some previous PPD tests may be acceptable, contact for further information)
- Commit to the full schedule of training
Students will receive:
- Textbook and workbook
- Stethoscope and blood pressure kit
- One set of scrubs
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a certificate they can use to apply for home health aide jobs right away, and we will also hold job fairs regularly to connect students with employers.
Any interested students or program personnel please contact Lily Applebaum directly for more information!
