Gavrielle
Career Specialist Nikki Lanham reports on her customer. “Gavrielle first visited Man-Tra-Con in July of 2022. She was 20 years old and needed guidance to get her LPN and RN licenses. Gavrielle had always wanted to work with kids,” Nikki explains.
““Through Man-Tra-Con and WIOA funding, Gavrielle received career counseling services, including tuition assistance to enroll in the Registered Nursing Program at John A. Logan College, plus financial assistance for transportation, books, and exam fees,” Nikki added.
“Gavrielle started her educational journey at a young age. She had some obstacles at first, but she persevered and overcame all of them. I am proud to say that in December of 2024, Gavrielle began working full-time as a Registered Nurse at Advantage Nursing Services in their Pediatrics department, earning $35.00 per hour. In addition, she has fulfilled her dream of working with kids,” Nikki reports.
Gavrielle is thankful for the assistance she received from Man-Tra-Con. “Man-Tra-Con took a tremendous weight off my shoulders helping me with my tuition, supplies, uniforms and books. Ultimately, they helped me shift all my focus towards studying and excelling in my academic performance. I could not have done it without Man-Tra-Con,” Gavrielle says.
