Students work on skills in a PCA training

Healthcare Pathways

SUNY Adirondack offers Healthcare Pathways, a program funded by a State University of New York (SUNY) Future of Work Centers grant. This allows SUNY Adirondack to develop career pathways and support individuals pursuing training and education for careers in health care.

Support is available for participants in noncredit training or degree programs, including those pursuing careers such as:

  • certified nurse aide (CNA)
  • home health aide (HHA)
  • personal care aide (PCA)
  • those studying Health Education, Nursing or related fields at SUNY Adirondack

This program allows SUNY Adirondack the flexibility to offer financial support in the way of books, uniforms, gas cards and technology, as well as access to emergency funds so students can overcome barriers to complete their education or employment retention.
