Transition to a Career in Healthcare
Jose Juan first met representatives from Lake County Workforce Development when his employer announced a plant closure. At that point, Jose Juan had spent more than 10 years in production, but he wanted a job that would allow him to use his people skills. After researching and discussing options with his Career Specialist at Workforce Development, he selected the field of healthcare. He qualified for a training grant and was approved to begin healthcare courses at the College of Lake County.
