Christina had limited hope of finding meaningful employment or achieving career success in a field she truly loves. She had struggled with work for a long time and was skeptical that anything could change.

But everything did when she entered the Agilec Employable YOU program.

Through a combination of in-class employment skills training and targeted, job-market-aligned courses, Employable YOU helps youth aged 15–30 build the skills and experience they need to confidently enter the workforce.  After completing the Employment Skills Training component, Christina discovered an online course that would allow her to pursue a career in veterinary services – her long-time passion. Since enrolling in the course, she has excelled academically, maintaining a grade average in the high 90s. Her dedication and enthusiasm have also led her to secure a practicum placement with a local veterinary office, which she will begin upon completing her in-class training.

Beyond the academic and career milestones, Christina has experienced a deep personal transformation. In her own words:

“I was skeptical going into the Employable You Program as I’ve struggled with work for a long time before this. Going into this program was the best thing to ever happen to me. Through this program, I’ve been able to go back to school, have ongoing support while attending school, and be able to believe in achieving a career and future I never thought possible. I had lost all hope of finding meaningful or impactful employment that I enjoyed. I am grateful beyond words for this opportunity and support.”

Christina’s journey is a testament to the life-changing impact of the Employable You program—helping individuals regain confidence, discover new paths, and build a future filled with purpose and passion.
