Certified Nursing Assistant Expansion Launches in Antioch
After two years of partnering with Mt. Diablo Adult Education in Concord, and a year of navigating state regulations, we have launched our own expansion Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Training program in Antioch! Our program provides training as well as extensive social support services and ongoing career advancement support for healthcare careers. This month, we are thrilled to add CNA training to our Antioch office where we have been offering Administrative Careers Training since our launch in 2000.

July 2021 Featured Alumna: Linh Luangrath
Linh: CNA Alum, Back Stronger than Before!
Linh Luangrath graduated in Class 2 of Opportunity Junction's Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program in Spring 2020. She was quickly hired by Hillendale Home Care in Walnut Creek, working hours that aligned with her family's needs. Because she had earned her CNA certification, she was offered an excellent starting wage. When the COVID-19 pandemic swept the nation, though, Linh faced a tough decision.
