Current Position:
I am currently a Youth Specialist with the NCWorks NextGen Youth Program at Gaston College. This is a federally funded grant program operating under the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act of 2014 that aids young adults in overcoming various barriers to employment. This is accomplished by offering basic & intense career services, as well as educational and career sponsorships and training. As a Youth Specialist I meet with individuals to develop a personalized career plan best suited for them to achieve their goals, and then aid them in doing so.
