Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | Can I work while I’m training? |
| A: | Yes. In fact, we encourage a woman who has a part time job to keep it so that she has some income. Hours need to be arranged so that she is free to train from 8:45 am – 3:00 pm for on-site training and also be available for 40 - 160 hours of internship training. |
| Q: | Do you help with transportation? |
| A: | We have a very limited amount of resources for bus tokens. Transportation assistance may be provided on a need basis as determined between the woman and our social worker. |
| Q: | Is there a dress code? |
| A: | Yes. Women in the various training tracks are expected to dress in career appropriate attire/uniforms, e.g. scrubs for CNAs. |
| Q: | Do I have to have a high school diploma to be accepted? |
| A: | A high school diploma is required for the pharmacy technician course. Other trainings do not require a diploma, but for the most part, career advancement does not happen without one so we encourage women to pursue this goal. |
| Q: | Is there an age requirement? |
| A: | A woman must be at least 20 years of age to apply; there is no high end limit. |
| Q: | How much does the program cost? |
| A: | Caroline Center’s trainings are free. There are fees attached to some of the trainings such as professional liability insurance for the CNA’s clinical experience and certification exam fees which the women are expected to pay. |
