Nayim Wells, who completed the Certified Nursing Assistant program at CJCC, is the center’s Graduate of the Quarter. Wells earned certifications as a Home Health Aide and CNA, and earned additional certifications for OSHA, CPR and Bloodborne Pathogens. He also took on leadership roles at CJCC, serving as dorm vice president.

He is now working at Eastbrook Nursing Facility and has his own apartment in the Charleston area.

Wells notes that his life has taken a positive turn since coming to Charleston Job Corps. “I was homeless and working as a porter and cleaning apartment buildings prior to coming to Job Corps,” Wells said. “My cousin enrolled at Job Corps, so I decided to give it a try as well.”
