Vi Beck - Peer Counselor
After working at The Eureka Company for thirty-two years, I found myself without a job. The union representative offered me a job as a peer counselor with Career Link. Peer Counselors help other displaced workers rejoin the workforce. Career Link offered a place where I could help others in the same situation as my own. The time working with this group of people was invaluable. I saw friends placed in colleges to learn new trades. After retraining I saw others acquire new positions. The Technical Support Skills Class helped prepare me for the next step in my own job search. The time and effort put forth by Mary Heck and her staff was outstanding.
My skills allowed me to land a job a Bloomington Normal Audiology. Having been given a chance and the ability to learn on the job, helped me to become more confident. As a result I am a valued employee again. I am so glad to have a new career.
Don't be afraid to try. Your future is ahead of you. |
