Lake Superior College is proud and honored to be among the sixteen Minnesota State college campuses hosting members of the Minnesota National Guard for intensive emergency training. Governor Tim Walz recently activated about 400 members of the Minnesota National Guard to train as temporary nursing assistants and help support long-term care facilities facing severe staffing shortages. Before the troops are deployed into healthcare facilities throughout the state, they are being trained at Minnesota State community and technical colleges including LSC in Duluth. They are receiving the 75-hours of required training to become certified nursing assistants and temporary nursing aides. The training started last weekend, runs every day, and will be completed early next week. Instructors and campus leaders worked over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend to help prepare for and begin this unique and intensive training. These troops are from the Twin Cities area, Fargo area, and a few are from the Duluth region. They said they’ve enjoyed being at LSC, and in Duluth, and are grateful for the hospitality and support. We are grateful for their service, as well as all the healthcare workers who continue to serve on the frontlines. This has been an impressive collaboration and process, and we truly appreciate the efforts of all involved! https://www.lsc.edu/news/article/lsc-providing-emergency-training-for-the-minnesota-national-guard/ #LakeSuperiorCollege #LSCproud #OurCommunityCollege #ThankYouHealthcareWorkers #ThankYouMinnesotaNationalGuard #OneMinnesota #MinnStateStories (Feed generated with FetchRSS)
