Research alternative for high schooler wanting hands-on experience

Google search said that CNA in MA requires 18, but I saw a nursing assistant/ HHA training program at MetroWest Healthcare that says minimum age of 16 and at least 10th grade “level of understanding” to take the course. Says 69 hrs of lecture/theory and 21 hrs of clinical work in the program. Sounds like what my S took. So it seems there is a level or nursing assistant that doesn’t require 18 yrs old in MA like a CNA. Might want to call a place offering this type of program to see.
