HR reports rising applicant flow, local CNA classes fueling hires

Walworth County Board — Lakeland Healthcare Center oversight · July 22, 2026

Summary

HR reported 20 applications in June, seven CNA classes with 68 students year‑to‑date, two nursing classes with 16 students, and nine hires in the last month; staff said some hires are temporary (students) and distance remains a hiring barrier.

An HR representative described applicant and training pipeline trends that affect hiring for CNAs and nurses.

The HR speaker said the county typically saw about eight applicants per month and roughly two hires, but recent months have shown higher application volumes. "We had 7 CNA classes so far this year, with 68 students," the presenter said, and added that nine hires occurred in the previous month, though several hires were pool positions rather than full‑time. Staff noted distance to the facility and certification requirements can reduce conversion from application to hire or to timely start dates.

Staff also reported interest from a college (transcript: "Bridal Stratton") seeking clinical partnerships, which could boost the applicant pool through expanded training opportunities.
