Roxane (Roxy) lived next door to WorkSource Center

Youth Counselor, Monica Garza. Monica knew Gross

Drug, where Roxy worked for 24 years, closed and

encouraged her to apply for Dislocated Worker

retraining at the Center.

Roxy followed Monica’s advice and attended the ACE

Workshop, an orientation to retraining opportunities.

During the workshop, she took several assessments. The

CareerScope, assessment provided insight into her skills,

abilities and interests. She found this to be very helpful.

She wasn’t sure if she wanted to stay in the pharmacy

business.

Meanwhile, she started the daily to commute from

Bridgeport to Omak to update her computer skills.

As the winter weather improved, so did the job market.

A supervisor position opened at Brewster Ag Supply and

Roxy discussed the possibility with her Career Counselor Lisa Hathaway. Roxy believed the job

would be the perfect fit, she could continue to serve the public, but work in a different type of retail

store. Good bye pills, hello farm supply!

Lisa contacted Gina at Ag Supply about training Roxy on-the-job. Gina was very open to the idea,

interviewed Roxy, and hired her to begin working as their newest Supervisor. Lisa worked with Gina

and Roxy to customize the training plan and Roxy went right to work.

Over the next three months, Roxy did an excellent job learning the Point of Sale system and the

endless supply of farm related inventory. She was a hit with the customers and staff. Roxy

successfully completed retraining and continues to work providing North Central Washington farmers

with much needed ag supplies.
