Dianna was referred to GOALS in the South Central region by eligibility staff after being determined ineligible for TANF, transportation assistance, and child care. When her Career Navigator first met with Dianna, she was in tears and expressed that she was trying to better herself but was dealing with many issues. Her Career Navigator worked with her to help her get stabilized and explore training and employment opportunities. She was the first student in the GOALS program authorized for the Wichita Area Technical College short-term training for sheet metal assembly. GOALS provided additional support with transportation assistance and child care while she was in class. Dianna successfully completed her training for Assembly Mechanic and has been offered a position at a large, local aeronautics company. This is full time employment with benefits at over $14 an hour! Everyone at GOALS is so proud of Dianna and wishes her the best on her career path!
