Courtney Brookes, ITA Program TREUTLEN COUNTY Courtney Brookes, ITA Program Courtney Brookes had just been accepted into Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program when she became unemployed. She knew she would need financial assistance to cover the cost of school if she were to continue attending. Courtney applied for the WIOA program in hopes of being accepted and enrolled in the ITA program in September 2023. WIOA provided assistance by paying transportation stipends and covering the cost of books, supplies, and testing. Courtney completed her program as an Honor Graduate with a 3.7 GPA, earning an associate’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. She accepted full-time employment as a Sonographer at Memorial Health Meadows Hospital. We are so proud of Courtney’s dedication to meeting her goals. Courtney had this to say, “I am a mother to two little boys. Two years ago, I made up my mind to go back to school to earn my degree so that I could provide a stable home for my family. I knew that this decision would present some financial hardships. However, I am proud to say that I have a group of supporters, including WIOA, who helped make this pursuit possible. WIOA provided me with the funds I needed for gas to get to school and still allowed me to buy a meal for lunch every day. They paid for my out-of-pocket fees, including uniforms, clinical fees, and board exam fees, just to name a few. This was such a tremendous help and such a relief because I would not have been able to afford these things. WIOA and the rest of my little village have helped me achieve my goals as a student and as a mom. I am so thankful, and I have big plans to make them proud by using my degree and becoming an asset in my field of study. Thank you, WIOA!” Previous Next < Back JUNE 2025

Madison worked very hard and completed the LPN program with a 3.17 GPA. She has been such a pleasure to work with, and we can’t wait to see Madison continue to reach her goals. Madison shared her experience by saying, “The WIOA program has been a huge blessing to me during my Practical Nursing journey. It has been a breath of fresh air knowing that I would not have to worry so much about expenses. This program is truly a blessing, and I will 100% recommend it to everyone. Thank you, WIOA, for the constant support.” Madison Harris, ITA Program Madison Harris enrolled in the WIOA program in January 2023. She was working part-time while attending Coastal Pines Technical College full-time in the Radiologic Technology Program. She needed additional assistance fulfilling the financial burden of attending college. WIOA covered the cost of testing, uniforms, fees, and transportation. Madison worked diligently and earned her Associate Degree in Radiologic Technology. Madison had this to say about her time in the WIOA program. “I heard about the WIOA program from one of my instructors at school, and the program has helped me tremendously. I live in Lumber City, Georgia, and was driving an hour one way, five days a week, to either class or clinicals. Driving this much made it very difficult money-wise having to put so much gas in my car. If it hadn’t been for the WIOA program, I would have definitely struggled way more and may have possibly not been able to finish attending school. The help I received paying for gas, uniforms, school fees, and testing was a huge part of how I was able to complete school and earn my degree.” Chesley Woods, ITA Program Chesley Woods was enrolled in the WIOA ITA program in October 2022. He was attending Southeastern Technical College’s Associate of Science Degree in Nursing (ASN) program. He had recently been laid off and needed financial assistance to help with the expense of continuing school. WIOA was able to help cover the cost of tuition, books, exam fees, and uniforms. He also received transportation stipends to help with the cost of traveling back and forth to school and clinical sites. Chesley worked very hard and completed the ASN program with a 3.20 GPA. We are so proud of him for his accomplishments and can’t wait to see him continue to reach his goals. Chesley had this to say about his experience in the WIOA program. “WIOA was first mentioned to me during my first semester of nursing school. I applied and was accepted and began to reap the benefits of this program. WIOA has been a huge blessing to me and many others in my nursing cohort. I was able to focus more intently on my studies rather than worrying how I would be able to cover the cost of attending. My friends all joke with me regarding how often I talk about WIOA and share with other new and incoming students about how much the program has helped me and how it can help them too. I can now say I have successfully graduated from STC with my Associate of Science Degree in Nursing. I am incredibly thankful for WIOA and all the wonderful women who worked with me. Thank you all so much for helping me reach a huge milestone in my life. I will continue recommending WIOA to any prospective student I speak with in the future.” Ashlyn Waters, Youth Program Ashlyn Waters, of Tattnall County, came to Job Training Unlimited after graduating from high school because she needed assistance to enroll and attend college. After working with her WIOA Case Manager to plan and set objectives that would help her achieve her educational and employment goals, she decided to attend Georgia Southern University with the hopes of earning a degree in Marketing. While in the WIOA program, Ashlyn participated in Youth Work Experience and also completed Occupational Skills Training. When Adult WIOA funding came available, Ashlyn was co-enrolled in the ITA program. Through the ITA program, she received financial assistance with tuition, books, supplies, and transportation. In December 2023, Ashlyn graduated with a 3.4 GPA from Georgia Southern and a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. She has since accepted the position of Marketing Manager at Jincy’s Southern Exchange. We are very proud of Ashlyn and all of her accomplishments. Ashlyn says, “I’m very thankful for the opportunity and resources this program has provided me.”
