The CNA Apprenticeship Standards
The employer develops standards for on-the-job training and CNA Classes instruction, based on the Registered Apprenticeship program’s national standards for the CNA apprenticeship. Although national standards for other direct care workers have yet to be developed, the CNA apprenticeship standards can be modified to meet the needs of home care, assisted living, adult day care and other home and community-based employers. CNA Programs officials provide significant technical assistance to help employers develop standards that meet their unique workforce needs.
