Leslie’s goal is to work in Healthcare.
When Leslie started working with staff in South Paris recently, she told them due to depression and anxiety, she rarely would leave her home and she recently moved in with her mother for support. She mentioned that she did not have a computer or experience with technology. She said she was concerned that she would not be able to help her four children with their schoolwork and she did not have the skills needed to find employment or attend any training. Staff connected Leslie with the National Digital Equity Center (NDEC) and helped her apply for a free computer. She received a desktop and worked with a tutor through NDEC to set up her computer. Leslie is now scheduled to attend NDEC’s courses online. She shared her excitement with Fedcap staff and said, “I now have the opportunity and resources available to improve my skills and I will be better prepared to help my children with their homework too.”
