Setting Goals

 

Monica had decided it was time for a career change. Her previous employment included dairy farms and factory work. She was looking for something that felt more rewarding personally. 

Monica came to GST Michigan Works! with hopes of finding a new career path. She met with a career coach and discussed her interests. She decided that she would like to become a certified medical assistant. Upon meeting with a career coach, they discovered that Monica would be eligible for WIOA funding. GST Michigan Works! was able to fund the cost of the program. 

Monica would begin training at the Sanilac Career Center in the clinical medical assistant program in September. She studied hard and completed her training while maintaining a full-time job as a production operator at a manufacturing facility. She was able to complete her training in mid-December. By February, she had secured full-time employment as a medical assistant. Using support services funding, GST Michigan Works! was also able to purchase two pairs of scrubs so she was prepared for her new employment. Monica set her mind on a goal and was determined to accomplish what she had set out to achieve.
