Communities who missed the intro webinar can still participate in the CNA training program. Also, those registering after the March 17th webinar can still register and will receive the recording of the March 17th webinar.

Avera trainers will review the Nebraska-DHHS-approved training program and explain the process to get your community approved as a training site. LeadingAge Nebraska members who decide to implement the CNA training course in their community through Avera will receive a 20% discount off the Avera annual membership, which will provide a discount on all CNA training that you receive through Avera Education and Staffing Solutions! Avera will also be giving 5% of the membership fee back to LeadingAge Nebraska for all new subscribers!

The interested communities will need to register for the 2-webinar series, which includes the CNA Train the Trainer webinar on Thursday, March 17, 2022 and also the Survey Preparedness webinar on Thursday, March 31, 2022. The two additional webinars are intended to walk you through the entire process to getting your community approved and running as a training site as well as what to expect on the survey for your training site.
