HOYA Monthly Update
As we wrap up the month of April, I want to take a moment to share the incredible progress our HOYA students have made.
This month, our focus has been on managing career readiness and preparing for the transition into the workforce. Students worked hard to build professional portfolios that include resumes, cover letters, professional statements, and letters of recommendation from references they identified and secured. They also gathered job shadow evaluations that highlight their professional strengths and collected proof of CPR certification. In addition, students completed job applications and spent time learning about professional behavior and interview skills.
To build confidence, students participated in mock interviews in class, and some had the valuable opportunity to complete mock interviews with healthcare professionals. These experiences, along with their completed portfolios, will be essential tools as they begin applying for jobs in the near future.
In the lab, we continued hands-on practice while completing final skill check-offs. Students have shown great dedication in developing and refining their clinical skills.
We also welcomed a guest speaker on April 20th—a medical military professional—who did an excellent job explaining the roles and responsibilities within that career path. It was an engaging and informative experience for all.
On April 23rd, we completed our final clinical day. I am proud to share that all students have officially finished the CNA portion of the class. This is a huge accomplishment, and I am incredibly proud of their hard work and commitment.
Looking ahead to May, we will begin reviewing for the CNA state test, which is scheduled for May 20th. Students will be able to sign up in class once registration opens, and I will share updates as soon as that information becomes available.
We are also excited to celebrate our students at the Pinning Ceremony on May 13th, where we will recognize our future CNAs and their achievements.
Thank you for your continued support
