“And now we're on a bright path”
Tareakubore faced difficulties in job hunting due to a lack of adequate experience and knowledge. She worked at Home Depot as a customer service rep and wanted a different path for herself. After discovering SkillUp, she was able to expand her skills through various programs and received help with job placement, resume writing, and career path direction. The training program she completed has not only benefited her but also helped her brother who has since graduated from a program at Opportunity College.
It all started because I discovered SkillUp. It really helped me to grow my current skill set, and it helped me find other programs that allowed me to grow. And I know that someone in my similar position would also benefit from this program.
My name is Tareakubore Otto. Before, when I was trying to find work, it wasn't going very well. I didn't have the right experience or knowledge to do it properly. It wasn't really progressing and finding a job that allowed me to grow my current skills before I discovered SkillUp. I really value SkillUp because it was through them that was able to discover so many different programs that allowed me to grow my current skills and become more than I actually was.
It was through their free classes and their knowledge about what areas of careers I would be good at and such, I was able to find something that allowed me to progress the way I wanted to. I was able to find a lot of programs that are helping me with my job placement. Not only did SkillUp’s programs help me write a resume properly, they also taught me the importance of cover letters and knowing which path I should take or to find good opportunities.
It's through SkillUp that I was able to find support, especially now entering in the tech industry, I was able to find this community that's helping me find a good job and to have the experience necessary. Because I have this experience and been through all this, I now understand what I need to do. I don't have all the answers, of course, but I know the right path I should take. It wasn't just a help for me. It was also a help for my brother, who I told about. And it was through there that we were able to find a program at Opportunity College and graduate from there. And now we're on a bright path. And it was all because we started at SkillUp.
