Health Care Class Has August Start, Other Workforce Programs Begin This Fall

Health care apprenticeship students show off the Personal Support Specialist (PSS) certificate they received this month as part of their training.

A new health care pathways apprenticeship class is scheduled to begin at Lewiston Adult Education in August.

Testing and interviews will be held for the candidates through July. English language learners will receive health care certification along with English language immersion.

The August session begins with health care foundations, moves into Personal Support Specialist (PSS) training and ends with a Certified Nursing Assistant certificate.
