Carolina Betancourth: Achieving Bigger Dreams

5/23/2014

 
Picture
Carolina lost her manufacturing job after 14 years of steady employment. Without any other experience than working in manufacturing, Carolina faced the job search with an incomplete skills set and two children to provide for.
She found New Choices and eagerly enrolled, hopeful and excited for how it could impact her future. Carolina said the program taught her about personal values and boundaries, in addition to how to set and achieve goals. She also learned  about the various community resources that could help her reach those goals. Throughout her journey with New Choices, she was inspired by the success stories of previous New Choices graduates. Carolina said she would recommend this program to any woman who is looking for a new direction in life. 
 
Where is she now? 
After graduating from the New Choices program, Carolina was able to find a job at Rodriguez Language Services. She is now a successful professional interpreter and making nearly $7 more per hour than she was when she worked in manufacturing.
