Colorado - Meet Alexzandra

Workforce Challenge

Workforce Success Story Submitted By: Employment Services of Weld County

Alexzandra, a medical biller at Longs Peak Hospital, had to leave her position due to COVID-19 and high-risk pregnancy. Alexzandra and her husband were struggling to pay their bills and feed their two children, and they exceeded the income requirements for food assistance and Women Infant and Children (WIC) programs. Alexzandra knew she needed to return to work.

Workforce Solution

Wanting to become a medical assistant but lacking the proper training, Alexzandra was enrolled into the WIOA and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act programs. ESWC was also able to assist her by providing gas vouchers and scrubs to ensure that she had what she needed to succeed.

Outcomes & Benefits

Alexzandra attended the National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMMA) in Fort Lupton, receiving A's every semester, and obtained her certificate. She is now looking for a job to help support her family!
