Kaitlyn Arnold, ITA Program
Kaitlyn Arnold enrolled in the WIOA program in September 2023. She was
attending classes full-time at Southeastern Technical College in the Nursing program.
She only worked part-time and needed financial assistance to continue attending
school. WIOA provided Kaitlyn with transportation stipends and assisted with the cost
of books, supplies, testing, uniforms, and graduation fees. She recently graduated and
received her RN license. She has now accepted full-time employment as an RN at East
Georgia Regional Hospital.
Kaitlyn had this to say about her time in the WIOA program. “WIOA was very
convenient, and the reimbursements really saved my life through nursing school. I am
so thankful I found this program.”
