Leonard’s life had seemed to be on track. He went to college, got a degree, and a job … but life can go in unexpected directions. “I got married, things happened, the pandemic derailed everything, I was in a financial bind, and then I had to restart all over again,” he said. “My plans got just thrown out the window, and I was trying to rebuild my life.”
He was working odd jobs as he looked for a way forward. He ”just stumbled across” Calbright, and remembers liking what he saw.
“I tried going back to a traditional college and realized maybe it is just not right for me,” he said. Calbright was different. It’s free, and that was appealing. It is also focused, and Leonard thought that was what he needed
He completed two of Calbright’s programs, in CRM Platform Administration and Data Analysis, in just six months, and now is working with Calbright’s Career Services team to find a job that works for him.
“I’m optimistic,” he said. “What’s good about Calbright is that they provide this path where you know what you need to do. And they offer a lot of support. That’s the most important thing.”
