Natasha was a 16 year old single mother who dropped out of High school to care for her daughter who wanted to earn a high school diploma but had no child care. So Natasha enrolled in the Hawaii Job Corps Center to better herself and improve the future for her child. 7 months later she has:
• Earned her General Equivalency Diploma (GED)
• Completed the Business vocational trade
• Graduated from the Hawaii Job Corps Center in 2009
• Enrolled in community college to study early childhood education
• Obtained an Associates of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Education and is pursuing her Bachelor Degree
• Earned a position as the lead teacher at the Child Care Center at the Hawaii Job Corps
• Purchased her first home
“Job Corps provided child care for my daughter which gave me the opportunity to earn my GED and complete a vocational trade. Without Job Corps I would not have become the successful person I am today.”
