Mission, Texas- More Mission Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) students than ever are graduating from high school, with professional health science certifications that enable them to immediately step into the workforce. Over the past three years, interest in earning Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) certifications has increased greatly. This resulted in the district not only offering a CNA dual enrollment program with South Texas College (STC), but to also offer the training through Careers Unlimited.
In 2016, 22 Mission CISD high school students earned their CNA certifications. In 2017, that grew by a handful. This year, 62 students have completed their CNA requirements. Twenty-five of them through the dual enrollment program with STC and 37 through Careers Unlimited.
