ANTHC seeks applicants for our Certified Nursing Assistant Training Program
September 19, 2024
At the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), we believe great things are achieved when our diverse workforce pulls together, unified in excellence. In order to accomplish this, we must set up the workforce for success. ANTHC has a great need for certified nursing assistants (CNA) and we have developed our own curriculum and training program to “grow our own.” We are looking for interested candidates to apply! Alaska Native and American Indian applicants will receive hiring preference.
Accepted candidates will be hired as patient observers, and will begin ANTHC’s five-week CNA Training Program on the Alaska Native Health Campus. In early November 2024, students will start with ANTHC’s new hire orientation and training, and then in mid-November, the CNA Training Program will begin.
“We are so excited to offer this training program to Alaska Native and American Indian people interested in health care careers,” said Emily Stevens, ANTHC Interim Chief Nursing Officer. “This is a wonderful opportunity to receive training for a new career, while also getting paid and having a job lined up after successful completion of the program.”
Classes will be held four days a week on the Alaska Native Health Campus, from 7 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., and will include three weeks of classroom instruction and two weeks of clinical training. The program can take up to 20 students and we are excited to provide this opportunity to people looking to start a career in health care!
While in the program, students will be provided their first set of scrubs and a meal stipend. Students coming from outside the Anchorage area may be eligible for a rent assistance stipend. After successful completion, program graduates will be assigned to a nursing unit at the Alaska Native Medical Center as a CNA. After a year of successful employment, CNAs are eligible for ANTHC’s Nursing Work Study Program once enrolled into a college nursing program!

- Four weeks PTO and 12 paid holidays per year
