We are currently the only LEA offering a Certified Nurse Assistant program in Santa Cruz County.  We have developed a VESL Health class that feeds our CNA program.  We offer CNA I, Home Health Aid, Acute Care and Restorative Nurse Aid.  Most of our ESL students are migrant agriculture workers, and some climb the language ladder to Vocational Ed classes, such as CNA.  Some others continue their career ladder, studying at one of our local community colleges to gain CN, LVN or other health careers.

I am interested in learning about programs that have been developed to help
immigrants and refugees re-establish themselves professionally, getting
appropriate credentials and so on. I am especially interested in any
programs for nurses.  Any suggestions for where I might start looking?
