My family and I came to the United States as refugees. My husband and I separated and I was left with 4 children to take care of. I was referred to Puget Sound Training Center when I applied for benefits through DSHS.
Puget Sound Training Center is a wonderful place. I was able to take a computer training course, and the staff there helped me look for and find a job, and it was free!
My case managers always had time for me. I was given a lot of helpful information and was referred to other providers or agencies when I needed help with childcare, or other legal issues while going through separation process with my husband.
After I completed a computer class it helped me to feel confident when I went to job interviews. I was afraid to go before because I did not know how to do an online application or survey, but after the class with PSTC I felt comfortable and confident. PSTC also helped me make a great resume. I don’t have a computer at home, but I was able to apply for work right there in the office. PSTC has a job search area with computers I could use to do everything online, and they helped me in the process.
Today I work for ABM Janitorial as a commercial janitor, I am very grateful to Puget Sound Training Center and all the staff there for helping me get this job and supporting me during the hard times. I don’t have to worry about who is going to support my kids anymore. I can do it all by myself, thank you PSTC
