When Ms. Willard enrolled in the SkillUP Program, she was working part-time and making slightly above minimum wage. She expressed interest in an Office Administrative Assistant Program. It required less than $1000 in SkillUP funds to cover the cost of the class, including textbooks and materials for the course. Ms. Willard did not have access to a computer or internet, and her SkillUP case manager arranged for her to use equipment at a location near her home.
Upon completion of the program, Ms. Willard earned a certificate and a promotion to a new job within her organization.
