A MESSAGE FROM LEGISLATIVE AIDE RACHEL ROARX (WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT EDITION)

Once upon a time, before I was a Legislative Aide for the wonderful District 21, I was a student trying to navigate the world of college tuition. Enter the UPS Metro College Program... I got to earn a weekly paycheck, have health insurance, 401K/retirement savings, in addition to having all of my tuition costs covered at U of L, a book reimbursement, and being able to gain valuable work experience! I worked 3rd shift in a warehouse as we prepared shipments for flights. I still had time during the day to attend classes, help my family, and do extracurriculars. I made so many connections, grew professionally, and graduated with my degree, 100% debt free! In total, UPS invested over $40,568 in my college education. I still think that is unreal!   I can honestly say that I would not be where I am in my life today without this program. I was able to graduate without student loans, have years of professional experience in both Human Resources and Administrative roles, and be able to afford to own a house at age 23.  I know that many District 21 residents work at UPS seasonally or year round. I hope more neighbors in our community take advantage of what we have to offer, right in our own backyard.  Learn more: https://metro-college.com/what-is-it Metropolitan College is a Kentucky partnership between UPS, The University of Louisville and Jefferson Community and Technical College. Participating students get their full-time undergraduate tuition paid to The University of Louisville or Jefferson Community & Technical College as well as book reimbursement money, bonuses and other benefits.

Free At Home COVID Test Kits

Residents of some Louisville areas can now order FREE, rapid, at-home COVID-19 testing kits while supplies last. It’s part of a program called Say Yes! COVID Test offered in partnership with the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness, the CDC, and the National Institutes of Health. You conduct the tests yourself at home with quick swipes inside the nose, and results display privately in just 10 minutes. Residents age 2 and over, whether they are vaccinated or not, can receive a pack of 8 tests to use twice a week until they run out. Frequent testing, combined with vaccination, wearing a mask, hand washing, and physical distancing, can help to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

To learn more and order your free tests, visit https://covidhometestlouisville.org/ or call the Lou Health Helpline at 502-912-8598
