About Sarah
Sarah Lee spent five years at the North Carolina Division of Workforce Solutions helping unemployed adults identify healthcare training programs, navigate WIOA funding, and meet CNA certification requirements. She worked with candidates across income levels, including many who assumed they could not afford training and did not know about employer-sponsored or grant-funded pathways.
She moved to a community college CNA program coordinator role in 2017, where she managed state approval renewals, supervised clinical placement, and tracked pass rates for the competency exam by instructor and cohort. That work taught her which program details predict outcomes and which are marketing language.
At CNAJobPath.com, she writes about training, licensing, and the process of getting a CNA credential in plain language — without the vague optimism that dominates most guides in this space. She also reviews articles on CNA jobs and career paths, contributing a career advisory and regulatory perspective.
