Meet Emily!
Emily came to Goodwill Wayne & Holmes determined to build a brighter future for herself and her daughter. While facing financial challenges and working to maintain stable housing, she never lost sight of her goal of becoming a nurse.
Through our Workforce Development team's Ohio Career Launch program, Emily received support and resources to help her stay on track. All while raising her daughter, working as an STNA, and attending nursing school!
And her hard work paid off! 🎉
Emily graduated from the Wayne County Schools Career Center LPN program, earned her nursing license, and secured a new full-time nursing position! But she's not stopping there! Emily plans to continue her education and work toward becoming a Registered Nurse (RN).
"Continuing to pursue educational opportunities and learning new skills is the key to success." – Emily
We're so proud of Emily's determination, perseverance, and everything she has accomplished. Her story is a reminder that with hard work, support, and a willingness to keep learning, incredible things are possible.
Keep going, Emily! Your future is bright!
