WIA/WIOA CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS <br /> How the WIA/WIOA Training Program Enhanced My Skills & <br /> Made Me More Employable... <br /> Hi, my name is Tejus Maduskar, and I am a management consultant currently working in the <br /> healthcare industry (insurance and hospital focused). When I lost my previous job in 2014, I <br /> knew I would have to work hard to close any gaps in skills which my future employers ex- <br /> pected me to have. Though I had some exposure to analytic tools and methods, most pro- <br /> spective employers that I was interested in were looking for candidates with formal training <br /> and experience in popular analytic software applications such as SAS, SQL server, and Tab- <br /> leau. <br /> This is where the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program came in. I met <br /> with a case manager in the Orange County NCWorks Career Center, who explained to me <br /> what courses were available from a training perspective, and how to apply and when to ap- <br /> ply. With the help of my case manager, I was able to get a spot and funding for training <br /> courses in SAS Basic and SAS Advanced at the SAS Institute in Cary, NC. Before, during, <br /> and after the training my case manager helped my complete all the formalities, and provided <br /> exceptional customer service and support by answering all of my training questions (or put- <br /> ting me in touch with the right persons). <br /> The training helped strengthen my resume and skills, and r , <br /> eventually get hired by a healthcare data analytics and <br /> management consulting firm. ■ t <br /> I really enjoyed working with WIANVIOA staff, who made F I 11, <br /> my journey to finding employment that much better. Fortu- <br /> nately, there are funds available for people like me to get <br /> retrained and better prepared for the workforce than ever z °'- <br /> before. I highly encourage people who recently lost a job 1 = <br /> and/or are trying to reenter the workforce, to contact the <br /> NCWorks Career Center/WIOA Program <br /> Thank you, and good luck to you. <br /> Regards, <br /> Tejus Maduskar <br /> lib' Er;- <br /> Tejussm@hotmail.com <br /> #WIOA IN ACTION <br /> 20 Annual Report 2014-2015 <br />
