CareerForce Helps Mathew Reskill to Reach Career Goals
February 4, 2021
Mathew always knew he wanted to go into the nursing field, but it was something he kept putting off as his career took him in a different direction. But thanks to reskilling resources he learned about through CareerForce, Mathew is back on a health care career track and excited about what his career future will bring.
Mathew got his first experience in health care when he provided care for people with mental and physical disabilities at Community Living Opportunities in Overland, Kansas. He found working with his clients to be very rewarding because he liked the feeling of helping people.
After working with people with disabilities for three years, Mathew served six years in the military. He came back to the U.S. with a job opportunity with the City of Winona, but after almost a year into that position, he was laid off.
When he went to file for Unemployment Insurance, he learned of the many different programs and services provided to job seekers at his local CareerForce location in Winona.
