Veronica came to workNet DuPage seeking employment services after her position as a Project Manager was eliminated. Veronica was worried. She immediately began working with a Career Coach on her employment goals.
Veronica had worked as a Project Manager until her layoff in 2023. She came to workNet DuPage for employment services after working with an outplacement firm with little success. Veronica states that she felt “lost and unsure of her identity” as a result of her position being eliminated.
Veronica began working with a Career Coach on her employment goals. As Veronica continued to job search, she realized she needed additional certifications to compete in her field. It was imperative that she find employment quickly, as she is the sole support for her son.
With the help of her Career Coach, Veronica began to research training programs to earn additional certifications. Veronica identified a training program which met her needs and began training shortly thereafter. Veronica completed the training program and earned three certifications to add to her resume. Shortly after completing training, she interviewed and was offered a position as a Strategic Planning Manager for a major local employer.
Veronica is grateful for the services she received from workNet DuPage. “workNet DuPage has become like family to me. The team is dedicated to helping and supporting job seekers through their most vulnerable times. That support is invaluable and irreplaceable. Because of workNet DuPage I was able to lift myself again, and shine better than before, and now, I share this light with the world,” Veronica says.
