Giana came to WorkSource Montgomery with a clear vision: to advance her career in healthcare and ultimately become a Registered Nurse. What she needed was an opportunity to gain real clinical experience and the right credentials to take the next step in her education. Through her commitment, and the coordinated support of several WSM teams, Giana has now achieved both.
As part of our Paid Work Experience (WEX) program, Giana was placed at AFC Urgent Care in Rockville, one of our valued employer partners. This placement was made possible thanks to the thoughtful coordination of one of our Talent Placement Consultants, Jan Abraham, who recognized Dr. Peart and her Team at AFC Urgent Care as the ideal environment for Giana to gain hands-on experience and build confidence in a fast-paced clinical setting.
While in the program, WorkSource Montgomery also supported Giana in earning her CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) certifications. These credentials strengthened her professional skill set and played a key role in her acceptance into the LPN-to-RN Bridge Program at Montgomery College—a major milestone on her path to becoming a Registered Nurse.
Today, Giana is proudly working at AFC Urgent Care, while actively pursuing her RN. Her success reflects not only her own perseverance and determination, but also the collective impact of WorkSource Montgomery’s integrated service, from training and credentialing to employer engagement and career placement.
Giana’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when a motivated participant, strong employer partnerships, and dedicated WSM staff come together. We are proud of her achievements and excited to support her as she continues her journey in the healthcare field.
