Fulfilling healthcare careers available

I’m so proud to be a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) here in the RGV. It is a fulfilling feeling to take care of our local community and to know that my skills are in high demand locally.

I moved to the RGV without speaking English and without a high school diploma. I was determined to obtain my education, so I began taking English classes, obtained my GED, then went to a local community college. When I learned of the Dwyer Workforce Development (DWD) program, which provides free CNA training along with wraparound support like childcare, transportation, and job placement assistance, I jumped at the opportunity and am now employed as a CNA, taking care of local seniors and veterans.

DWD has helped more than 6,000 Texans achieve their dreams of working in healthcare!

DWD’s program is transforming lives like mine, adding much-need workers to the healthcare system and providing care for our community. I encourage others to explore this opportunity and am grateful for the support of our community and state leaders in helping expand DWD’s reach across Texas!
