Testimonial: Alana Hinojosa |
“When I first came to the Sutter County One Stop, I was at a point in my life where I wanted more than a job, I wanted a career. I wanted to take Medical Assisting classes, but I needed help with the training costs. I learned about their Youth Program and I applied for it. They were able to help me with the costs of my books, supplies and uniforms. After I completed the class, they provided me a work experience so I could build up my history and assisted me with my job search. They never gave up and me. Today I am working full-time as a Medical Assistant and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Sutter County One Stop!”
