Dwyer Workforce Development recognizes graduates, celebrates milestone
Dwyer Workforce Development celebrated a major milestone on Aug. 20, honoring its first three Dwyer Scholars to become licensed practical nurses, while 320 Dwyer Scholars earned their Certified Nursing Assistant certification. The ceremony, held at Southern Baptist Church in East Baltimore, featured remarks from It Works Learning Center President Mort Lapides, DWD CEO Barb Clapp and keynote speaker Jason Perkins-Cohen of the Maryland Department of Labor with a special video message from Maryland First Lady Dawn Moore.
A highlight of the event was the recognition of the Dwyer Scholars advancing from CNA to LPN. The ceremony concluded with each graduate walking across the stage to receive their certificates and move their tassels in celebration of their life-changing achievement. Following graduation, Dwyer Scholars will enter health care roles across Greater Baltimore, with ongoing support from DWD to continue upskilling to advance their training toward LPN, registered nurse and beyond.
