Was a pleasure for our team members Jodi Paretta to attend Healthcare Career College 2024 graduation ceremony. Our very own, recently completed Ready Willing and Able apprentice, Joyce Liu was named as valedictorian. Congratulations on all those that have worked alongside Joyce on her journey. These evenings are a reminder of WHY we do what we do, and is proof that an apprenticeship is a pathway to meaningful and ongoing employment. Thank you to California Department of Rehabilitation for your ongoing support toward enhancing apprenticeship as pathway to a viable career.
