Jessica enrolled in the Elevate program in May of 2022. Jessica was a stay-at-home mother looking for employment and she expressed that she couldn’t seem to get a job, saying “I didn’t have my GED and had no experience.” So, she looked online for help finding agencies that could help people with little to no income. During her search, she found success stories from TWC’s ELEVATE program. While in the program, she successfully completed a GED program and went on to further her education beyond that.

 

Jessica would like others to know that “the program does not give up on you and they push you so you can achieve your goals”. Jessica appreciated the help with getting to her classes, exclaiming that “the bus passes and gas cards helped a lot.” She also noted that it was about more than finances though. It was about getting a person where they want to be in life.

 

Jessica is the proud recipient of a college diploma and is now a Registered Medical Assistant. Earning both her GED and a college degree, Jessica exclaims that she “feels more educated and respected”, also adding that her children “look at me as a leader!”.

With her recent passing of the RMA exam, Jessica’s next step is landing her dream job.
