Jason Goodman was a student sent to the Construction Tech program in February of 2016 from HSA. Jason really wanted to learn the different trades in the Construction Industry. Mr. Macha says “ He was such an excellent student that I placed him with our
Community Partner Modern Air Mechanical learning the HVAC trade.” Jason trained in their shop for a month and did such a good job that Modern Air hired him full time and he is still working for them. Suzanne Roberts, the supervisor for Modern Air, constantly asks us to send her more students just like Jason!

Arkesha came to the Medical Office Administration program in August of 2016. Referred by Freddy Sandoval, she was one of the first students to go through this new program. Arkesha had recently
moved to Merced from St. Louis, Missouri and was settling into a new home in Merced with her family.
Arkesha already had a degree in Medical Assisting, so choosing to go into Front Office Medical seemed the logical choice for her. Arkesha finished up the course work and was placed at Dr. Spitzer’s office in Merced. In spite of the fact that she had to ride a bus across town to get to her internship site, Arkesha did an
awesome job! Dr. Spitzer’s office was going through some management changes, so hiring her was not possible.
Arkesha kept applying for any medical position she could find, but no luck. In April of 2017 Arkesha graduated from the Medical Office Administration program. At that point she had been applying for every and any position she could find. Arkesha applied at Amazon in Patterson. In May of 2017 she was hired by Amazon. Her issue was transportation
and she was able to car pool in order to get to work. By the next month, Arkesha had already purchased a car to get her
back and forth. Her determination paid off!

Vanessa came to the Computerized Office Technology program in July of 2016 part-time. She was referred by Everardo Sahagun. On her referral, her goal was to find permanent employment in an office setting. Vanessa went through the course and by March of 2017, she was ready for an internship. Vanessa started working part-
time for Legal Support Net in Merced. During that time, she was able to practice skills she learned in class. Her site supervisor constantly made comments on how well she was doing and what a hard worker she was. She finished the internship in June of 2017. Due to her hard work and effort, she was offered a position in their office in Modesto. Although she was thankful for
the offer, Vanessa felt the commute would be difficult for her. Unfortunately she had to pass up her internship site’s job offer.
Vanessa graduated in July of 2017 with her Certificate of Completion. She went back to H.S.A and was able to work with the team of Jamie Gutiérrez, Amelia Cuen and her staff to find an employer closer to home who she could work for utilizing the ESE program. They were able to find her an office position in Delhi working for Castrejon Insurance Company. It looks like her goal
was met!

Avion came to the Accounting Occupations program in December of 2016. Adrian Espinosa referred Avion to the program. Avion soon found out that accounting was not for her, which is perfectly fine. Avion switched
to the Computerized Office Technology program. While in the program, she accomplished all she had set out to do. Becoming computer literate was a huge goal of Avion’s. Avion completed the curriculum very quickly. One of the nicest things about Avion was her sweet disposition.
She always had a smile on her face.
One of Avion’s roommates had recently been offered a
position at Amazon in Patterson. Avion had just started job searching and worked very hard on her resume and cover letters. She applied at Amazon and was hired in August of 2017. Avion and her roommate decided they could car pool to Patterson. Avion received her
Certificate of Completion the same month she was hired by Amazon!
