The career and technical education office helps students to acquire their CNA certification through in-school labs and courses. Labs take place at Hamilton, Madison, North Division, and South Division high schools. Courses are offered in collaboration with Milwaukee Area Technical College. Successful students earn college credit. CTE contracts with Quality Healthcare Options to provide courses for CNA certification outside of school.
These opportunities are for current MPS high school students only.
