As an HR professional in the senior living space, I strongly support the proposed changes to allow more VA residents to obtain their CNA training through alternative previously unavailable methods. As an employer, we have a critical interest in addressing staffing and skills. We can produce passionate employees who care about their work and the people they serve. We can also provide career growth and a stable industry where people can thrive!

Thank you for this open-minded, long-term solution, to assist in the full employment of Virginians and caring support for our residents.
