“I would encourage any member to take full advantage of the Ed Fund, its programs, and knowledgeable staff.”
In honor of our 20th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at stories shared by some of the amazing members helped by the Education Fund. Kevin, a former dialysis technician at El Camino Hospital, faced a career shift when the hospital closed its outpatient dialysis department. Through negotiations with the union, technicians were offered the opportunity to train for other roles, with Kevin deciding to pursue a CNA position. The Education Fund facilitated a tailored five-week intensive CNA program for Kevin and seven colleagues. Under the guidance of the Education Fund’s partner school and with dedicated support from their counselor, they received top-notch training, leading Kevin to become a licensed CNA, team leader, and union steward.
