Oswego Health is committed to shaping the future of healthcare by offering its employees the opportunity to grow and thrive in a rewarding career with on-the-job, paid training. The Manor at Seneca Hill, Oswego Health’s skilled nursing facility, is proud to announce the graduation of four dedicated employees who recently completed its Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program.
Through this innovative, hands-on training initiative, The Manor helps individuals launch successful careers in healthcare without the burden of costly tuition. The five-week program combines 240 hours of clinical, classroom, and lab instruction to prepare students for certification. While enrolled, participants continue to work as Resident Care Aides, earning a full salary and gaining valuable experience in a healthcare setting.
Oswego Health’s CNA training program is a prime example of the organization’s commitment to investing in the future of healthcare by developing a skilled, compassionate workforce. The program, which typically costs around $2,000 to complete, is free to employees, making it a unique opportunity for those interested in joining the healthcare field.
The following employees have completed the program and earned their CNA certification: Harley Waugh, Emily Miner, Claire Haney, and Piper Bornemann.
“We are incredibly proud of these four employees for their dedication and hard work in completing this rigorous training,” said Administrator Leigh Hilgenberg, LMSW, C-SWHC, LNHA. “Our CNA training program is not just an investment in their future, but in the future of healthcare as a whole. By providing on-the-job training, we are helping individuals gain the skills and confidence needed to make a lasting impact in patient care while also addressing the growing demand for qualified healthcare professionals.”
As part of Oswego Health’s commitment to supporting employees’ professional growth, those who complete the CNA program are eligible for full-time employment with The Manor and a $3,500 sign-on bonus. For experienced CNAs, a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000 is available.
The Manor is now recruiting for its next CNA training cohort and is actively seeking motivated individuals ready to begin a fulfilling healthcare career. To learn more about the program or to apply, visit www.oswegohealth.org/cna or call 315-349-5300.
