We're excited to announce that Metrowest Healthcare Academy has officially changed its name to Pathway Vocational Institute of Health! Our name has changed, but our commitment to quality healthcare education remains the same under the same ownership and management.

Pathway Vocational Institute is committed to supporting healthcare organizations facing ongoing staffing shortages. We provide a streamlined, cost‑effective solution by recruiting and training qualified, reliable Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who are prepared to meet your facility’s specific needs.

For a service fee of $3,500, we handle the full recruitment and training process—sourcing only candidates who meet your defined criteria. Our approach significantly reduces your administrative workload, accelerates your hiring timeline, and ensures you receive job‑ready CNAs who can integrate smoothly into your care team.

Program Benefits

  • Targeted Recruitment: We identify candidates who match your facility’s standards, culture, and skill requirements, eliminating the time you would otherwise spend screening unqualified applicants.
  • High‑Quality Training: All candidates complete a comprehensive CNA training program designed to prepare them for real‑world patient care demands.
  • Improved Reliability: Our vetting process focuses on professionalism, dependability, and long‑term retention, helping reduce turnover and staffing instability.
  • Faster Onboarding: Because candidates arrive trained and prepared, your team spends less time on orientation and more time delivering quality care.
  • Reduced Administrative Burden: We manage recruitment, screening, and training—cutting your workload in half and freeing your staff to focus on operations and patient outcomes.

Cost Savings

Partnering with Pathway Vocational Institute can help your facility reduce:

  • Recruitment expenses, including advertising, screening, and interviewing
  • Overtime costs caused by understaffing
  • Temporary staffing agency fees, which often exceed the cost of hiring permanent CNAs
  • Turnover‑related costs, thanks to better‑matched and better‑prepared candidates

By investing in a predictable, high‑quality pipeline of CNAs, your facility gains long‑term staffing stability at a fraction of the cost of traditional hiring methods.
