Her Success
Debra was
employed by T.S. Trim, a manufacturing plant, in Athens, Ohio.
In the spring of 2003, Debra was notified that the plant would
close for good in September. This news frightened her because
Debra had never been without employment. Debra’s employer
invited training providers including the Tri-County Adult
Career Center to the plant to discuss retraining options for
employees. She picked up a Paralegal brochure from our table
and thought it sounded to be an exciting and interesting
career area.
Then
doubt and fear overcome Debra. She remembers thinking, “Can I
handle going back to school? I have been out of school for so
long, can I still be a mom, a wife and keep up with the
household chores?” Debra’s husband was very supportive and
encouraged her to enroll.
Debra
maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.989 and
mastered five Microsoft User Specialist Certifications,
including a perfect score on Microsoft Excel industry
credentialing during the course of the 936 hours of training.
She
was placed as an intern with the Washington County
Prosecutor’s office in Marietta. This experience led to a job
offer and full time employment for her! Debra stated, “The
staff at the Prosecutor’s office was very helpful and eager to
help me learn new tasks. The skills I learned from Tri-County
Adult Career Center helped me understand the legal field and
my internship gave me the experience that I could use in my
new career.”
Debra
now plans to further her education at some
point.
Good
Job Debra!

the plant closed, I was forced to make a career
decision. I went back to school for computer training. I
chose the Adult Career Center, and I’m glad I did.
Through hands-on training and professional instructors
who really cared about my success, I became MOS
(Microsoft Office Specialist) certified and now have a
great job in the medical field as an administrative
assistant. My instructors even helped me with job
placement. I would highly recommend the Adult Career
Center to anyone looking for specialized computer
training.” |

“I
wanted something better—for myself and my son. So I went back
to school. I selected the Adult Career Center because it gave
me a choice. The classes were small and I got one-on-one,
hands-on training. I am now employed full-time and have a good
income with great benefits!”

“I
honestly believe that without my Adult Career Center training,
I would be stuck at a minimum wage job! I knew nothing about
Windows, e-mail or the internet. At the Adult Career Center, I
got hands-on training from friendly instructors who really
cared about me. I would recommend training at the Adult Career
Center for anyone that wants to better their
career.”
