Michigan Works! Helps Isabella Overcome Barrier to Starting Her New Job

Isabella had just finished her CENA training and was ready to start her new job at Medilodge, but wouldn’t be getting a pay check until 5 days after. She didn’t know how she was going to purchase the scrubs she needed to wear for her first day of work. With help from the Barrier Removal Employment Success (BRES) program, Michigan Works! Career Navigator Mary Trudgen was able to help Isabella purchase the scrubs she needed.

Thankful, Isabella shares, “This assistance lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and allowed me to breathe easier. I was able to get assistance purchasing the much-needed scrubs that I otherwise could not have afforded at this time.”
