Think possibilities
Master the balancing act
Amber Pratt needed to take care of her parents and newborn child right after high school. It wasn’t the best time to go to college. With help from the Workforce Equity Initiative, she pursued a medical assisting education at no cost when she was ready.
“With everything I had going on, I felt like I wasn’t doing anything for myself. School is for me.”
