Debra

Debra initially connected with the state Vocational Rehabilitation program following a job injury in a Certified Nurse Assistant position. Her previous work experience had provided her with no computer knowledge and experience.

Debra enrolled in our Office Assistant program, focusing extensively on familiarity with general computer use. She completed the program in five months.

The week following Debra’s official completion, she continued to utilize some of our open lab time to add final touches to her application materials such as the state PD100 and resume. During that week, she was given the opportunity to accept a full-time, four month placement with the state Board of Construction, utilizing general clerical skills. She immediately started this job the following day.
