"I get a chance to get into the healthcare industry way earlier than I expected," added Karson Hollander.Melchert, Hollander, and Gonzalez are just three of more than 40 Crystal Lake Central High School students who are set to start their healthcare careers as certified nursing assistants, and they haven't even graduated yet.

District 155 was given a $1.5 million grant to start a program to train high school students to fill desperately needed CNA roles in the community.

Northwestern Medicine in McHenry County has partnered with students to give them a foot in the door and the potential for a career in the healthcare industry.
