CGTI provides students with the academic and professional foundation to build a successful healthcare career. The classes provided include Nursing Assistant, Caregiver, Dual Certification, Assisted Living Manager and CNA Bridge – CNA to Caregiver. This year, we were very excited to enter into a partnership with the Sahuarita Food Bank and Community Resource Center to extend our reach into south and west Pima County. In our continued efforts to address the increasing need for caregivers, we created an innovative value pricing program offering discounts to employers paying for their staff training through CGTI. Additionally, we have fostered a partnership with the Arizona Healthcare Association to be one of the training sites for skilled nursing facilities and assisted living centers. Through the generous support of Tucson Medical Center Foundation, we have been able to offer discounted tuition. All of these measures together resulted in CGTI having the largest graduations to date in 2023!
