Gail

< Previous   Next >

"I have been blessed in receiving the job I have now through the education I obtained with GETC."


With the help of GETC, Gail was able to gain a full-time job with UPMC.

After being unemployed for several years, Gail enrolled in the Administrative Office Skills Program in January 2010 to change careers. Gail obtained three computer certifications; the ICDL, MOS Word and MOS Excel. She graduated with a 4.0 grade point average in October 2010. Gail was able to perform all tasks required of her during her externship at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and Education Department with the skills obtained during her time with GETC. She just celebrated her one year anniversary at UPMC as a Senior Administrative Assistant, a position she was recommended for by her externship Site Supervisor.

"The Community Based Assessment program helped me decide what kind of work I wanted to do. After doing my assessment at Elderberry Junction I knew this was what made me happy. There was an opening and I applied. Working with the seniors makes it an enjoyable and fulfilling place to work."

Barb found work that makes her happy with Goodwill's Assessment Services.
