It's not Montgomery, but if you don't mind a short move up the Interstate, there are such opportunities nearby in Auburn/Opelika at East Alabama Medical Center:

East Alabama Medical Center

You can see some of the benefits they offer employees on that page They include scholarships for various hospital-related degrees. Work there and they will cover the tuition for your CPA/LPN/RN or whatever. Both Auburn University and Southern Union Community College have nursing programs nearby.

I discovered that when I was hospitalized there last week. Below the nurse-level, almost every staff member I talked with was getting a scholarship. From what I could see from my bed, it also has excellent in-house training programs.

Beyond that, you get all the benefits of a college town (Auburn) that's been repeatedly voted one of the best small towns in America.

Some nursing homes might do on the job training and pay for certification, you can call around.

It's usually not free as training is at no cost in exchange for working at the facility for a predetermined amount of time. If you quit or are fired you may need to reimburse the facility for training costs

Check to see if your state will allow you to sit for the CNA exam in nursing school.

A lot of states allow students to take the CNA course after completing the first semester or certain nursing courses.

Most CNA programs cost money (mine was around $700) and the ones that offer it for free will require you to work in a certain facility for a period of time.
