How It Works

SUCCESS STORIES FROM NORTH FLORIDA YOUNG ADULTS

“CareerSource North Florida Foundations helped me get my GED© which means I can now go to college and start working towards my dream job.” – Chloe D.

Upon completing the 11-month Pharmacy Technician program at River Oak Technical College, I graduated on July 25, 2024, took the National Test, and passed it. "Careersource North Florida has been extremely helpful in assisting me with completing this process. I would not be here today, at this point, without their assistance. I am incredibly grateful for all of their assistance" – Mary N.

"Since my interview my DON continues to remind me how impressed he was with my resume and portfolio. I’m grateful to CareerSource and my college for preparing me with successful jobseeker skills such as resume and cover letter preparation. This program also aided in the enhancement of my clinical skills with funding for workforce certifications such as IV therapy and BLS." – Erika L.

"I got to help with a 3D knee replacement surgery. It really helped me with making the decision to go through with the Surgical Technologies program and continue in the healthcare field.
If anything I want to do the program even more after completing the simulation!"
– Abbigale H.

"Before coming to CareerSource North Florida I was working at a juvenile facility, but was looking for something better so i could be home with my family more. That's when I decided that wanted to get my CDL. I was nervous at first but I knew that everything was going to work out for the best. I continued working while i attended the program which lasted a few months and was well worth it. While attending the program I realized that I had other skills I never knew I had. CareerSource North Florida stayed in contact with me and checking in on me to see how the job search progress was going which I greatly appreciated. Finally after months of searching I finally got an interview with FedEx out of Tallahassee and have now been working with them for 2 years now." – Jabaris T.
