My goals haven’t changed much, but my confidence to achieve those goals has greatly improved.

Jacque
Salem Training Center Graduate

Jacque came to the Training Center with a background in the automotive repair industry. Due to torn tendons in her right wrist and left ankle, Jacque was no longer able to meet the physical demands of this line of work.

Jacque enrolled in DePaul’s Office Assistant program. She learned new skills so quickly and became proficient with the computer software programs, that we encouraged her to move into some advanced training components in both Microsoft Word and Excel.

During Jacque’s last week of training, DePaul Staffing Services placed her in a temporary clerical position with the Public Utilities Commission. After filling this position for a few weeks, Jacque was encouraged to apply for the permanent position by her co-workers. She interviewed for and was offered the position as a permanent employee.

To sum up her experience, Jacque says, “It was an adventure! I met some great people, both staff and students, which made coming to class a real joy.”
