Success Stories

John

John enrolled in our Job Training Services (WIOA) with the goals of completing a Registered Nurse Bridge Training at a local college and gaining self-sufficient employment. Our program covered the costs of John’s training. He successfully completed the RN Bridge training and obtained his RN license. After completing his training, he found employment as an RN. John was able to meet his goals both in his education and in employment with help from Workforce Solutions Panhandle.


Jamshid

 Jamshid connected with our team after he had spent a period of time as a caregiver for his mother. Jamshid enrolled in our Job Training Services (WIOA) and we were able to cover the costs of a Commercial Driver’s License Training program for him. After successfully completing his CDL Training he received a job offer from an employer.


Maria

Maria is single parent of 4 children. When COVID-19 caused schools to close, Maria had to stay home to take care of her children and help them start using virtual schooling. Maria was asked to work for our School COVID-19 Sanitation project. Maria’s job is to help her local reopened school keep their campus clean and sanitized. “The opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time. Especially because the hours allow me to be with my children before going to work and after getting out of work. I don’t have to worry about them being home alone.” Maria is able to work during school hours and has hope to continue working with the local ISD as new opportunities arise. “I would encourage others to take this opportunity. Thank you Workforce Solutions!” – Maria


April

April received TWC funding for quality initiatives and graduated with her Master’s of Science in Human Sciences “Thank you and workforce solutions again for the scholarship opportunity. Tomorrow I graduate with a Master of Science in Human Sciences and it would not have been possible without the scholarship. Thank you for all you and your team does for young children and their caregivers!”


Isabel V.

When Isabel V. was laid off, she turned to Workforce Solutions Panhandle for help in finding new employment. Isabel attended several workshops that helped her develop her resume and do well in job interviews. She made sure to utilize all available resources to aid in her job search. Isabel is now employed and was thrilled to tell the Workforce Team that their efforts had helped her find employment


Savanna

At age 15 Savanna helped take care of her grandma and that was when she knew she wanted to help others. Savanna challenged herself to pursue her dreams and joined a Certified Nursing Assistant class. She received her certification and in 2019 was accepted into the Licensed Vocational Nurse program.Workforce Solution’s Youth program provides financial assistance to pay for tuition, fees, and supplies such as nursing scrubs. Childcare assistance made attending school a reality and according to Savanna, the encouragement of the staff at Workforce Solutions was as important as the financial help. Savanna could not have finished without a secondary support system.


David W.

When David enrolled in our program, he received transportation assistance and was able to purchase clothing for interviews and employment. David worked diligently and now has been employed full-time since September of 2019. David’s efforts have enabled him to start saving for a car to overcome transportation barriers, pay for needed items, and he continues to maintain employment. “Thanks to the wonderful staff, never giving up on me and showing incredible kindness. I am happy and love my job. Thank you TWC.” – David W.


Terry F.

When we met Terry he was living and working at the Salvation Army. At that time Terry was faced with medical and transportation obstacles. Terry participated in one of our programs and is now living in his own apartment and is on track to purchase his own vehicle. When asked about our program he said, “Workforce Solutions helped me get back on track by encouraging me to set realistic goals and by achieving those goals, I have set myself up for success and created a future that I can be proud of.”
