Students Complete HACC Program, Gain Skills to be Work-Ready
This fall seven MAHS seniors successfully completed Middletown’s nurse aide program through Harrisburg Area Community College. The students were recognized at a pinning ceremony, which was attended by MASD administrators and staff, including Mr. Adam Shaffer, MASD Career and Workforce Development Coordinator. This is the second year for the nurse aid program and is part of MASD’s Career Readiness Initiative.
Students Zaineb Al-Talal, Deiny Baez, Breanna Dalton, Delaney Fitzpatrick, Ja’Kya Queen, Edward Serrano and Ariyah Williams, had the opportunity to learn all the necessary skills and curriculum required to take their state examination, which will make them Certified Nurse Assistants (CNA). In collaboration with HACC, clinicals were completed at Messiah Lifeways in Mechanicsburg and allowed students to demonstrate the necessary knowledge and skills required for employment. The students can now work at any facility which requires the CNA certification and in collaboration with Masonic Village, have the opportunity to begin their career.
Congratulations to all the students on this achievement! Best of luck in your next chapter - we know you will make MASD Raider Proud!
MASD is also grateful to HACC for their continued partnership in fulfilling the MASD Vision of ensuring students graduate equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
