The Douglasville Patch recently featured WOS Alum Brittany Bruno. After graduating from college Brittany set out for a challenge by joining the Army Reserves, but she struggled to find gainful employment at the airline she was working for. Yet she remained determined not to join the 43 percent of workers who are underemployed. After discovering Workforce Opportunity Services, she completed 8 weeks of training at the Georgia Institute of Technology and is now thriving in her field of HR.
Check out an excerpt from the article below:
"With the workshops that I took through WOS, which covered everything from relationship building to customer service skills, coupled with working full-time at ADP as a WOS Consultant, more than prepared me for my transition into an HR role. After working as a WOS consultant for nine months, I was hired full-time by ADP in December 2015. I later received a promotion in July 2016, all of which would not have been possible without WOS' and ADP's support."
Still in the Army Reserves, in July 2017, Bruno left her job at ADP and is now an associate client support consultant at INova Payroll.
"Each day at INova I find myself applying all of the skills that I learned while in the WOS-ADP program. WOS was able to align me with a position in a field where there are endless opportunities for growth. Once I was able to launch my career, other things in my life started falling into place. I'm now more financially stable and I recently became a first-time homeowner, a complete 180-degree change since I was working at the airline and living at home with my parents."
