On Friday, August 7, 2020, TRA-Worcester YouthBuild students, Jacqueline (Jacqui) Bain and Alexes Hernandez, successfully completed the Nursing Assistant Training component through TRA’s partnership with The Fieldstone School. Both students received certificates in Nursing Assistant, Home Health Aide, and CPR/AED disciplines at a graduation ceremony held in their honor.

Both women, age 21, reside in Worcester and are in the queue to take the Massachusetts State Certified Nursing Assistant licensing exam.

Alexes plans to either move into entry level pharmaceuticals or continue in the nursing assistant field, combining her training with advanced level aesthetician work.

Jacqui, a mother of one child, is already in the process of moving into nursing assistant private caretaking while she awaits her licensure exam.

CONGRATULATIONS JACQUI AND ALEXES! WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU BOTH!
