    CareerWork$ Medical Graduate, Executive Assistant at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

    “The application took less than five minutes to complete, and now I’m in a career where I can support my family —all it took was a leap of faith.”

    After getting laid off at the start of the COVID pandemic, Nesha Price wanted a career that could financially support her and her daughter. She got a job at a grocery store, but realized working twelve hours a week wasn’t enough to take care of her family. Initially apprehensive about signing up for CareerWork$ Medical because she’d never done a career readiness program, she took a “leap of faith” and says it turned her “whole life upside down”—in the best possible way.
