Workforce Development

Tabitha’s Workforce Development program encourages TEAMember personal growth and development through continuing education, exploring new career pathways and providing key industry training and workshops.

Through this program, Tabitha works to address the growing demand for Senior Care services as it outpaces the number of health care professionals entering the workforce. Tabitha's goal is to increase the competence and earning potential of direct care providers, create pathways to career advancement in health care and remove barriers to employment for entry level health care workers.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Classes

As an approved education site through the Nebraska Health Care Association, Tabitha is pleased to offer a pathway to becoming a Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Tabitha’s Nursing Assistant course includes:

  • Online only portion – 46 hours at home or at Tabitha
  • In-person learning – both in classroom and clinical settings, onsite skills and competency

The course fee is covered by Tabitha’s Workforce Development program as part of the Sue Hill CNA Sponsorship Program. It includes all instruction time plus a $1,000 stipend—half paid upon sign-up, half upon completion. The scholarship is contingent on employment with Tabitha and therefore must be repaid if employment ends within 6 (full-time) or 9 (part-time) months.

There are many benefits to becoming a CNA through Tabitha, including:

  • Additional pathways to growth at Tabitha, such as the Nursing Student Program
  • Higher compensation upon hire
  • Access to experienced educators during online course
  • Guest Wi-Fi and chrome books for use during online course if needed
  • Health care learning environment

Space is limited; the next session will begin soon.
