SUMMARY:From Classroom to Career: Stephanie’s CSW Success Story
DESCRIPTION:My time at Focus College was more than just an academic experience-it was a transformative chapter that shaped my path into community support work. I had the privilege of learning under two incredible instructors\, Kelly and Alwin. Both brought passion and depth to their teaching\, but it was Kelly who truly stood out. She didn’t just teach from the textbook-she brought grassroots wisdom into the classroom\, giving us a real-world understanding of the people we would be supporting. Her dedication ensured that every student received a practicum placement\, and it was through her guidance that I found mine. \nAlthough I was the last in my class to secure a placement\, I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. I was placed at PIERS (Partners in Resources)\, where Angie became another phenomenal mentor. Her hands-on approach and compassionate leadership helped me grow immensely. As my practicum ended\, PIERS offered me a position\, and I was thrilled to continue working with them-even if it was only for 12 hours a week. In a beautiful twist of fate\, one of my classmates spoke highly of me to the manager at Premium Productions\, where they had completed their own practicum. That recommendation led to an interview\, and I was offered a position immediately. Though it was difficult to leave PIERS\, needed to pursue a role that offered more hours and stability. I’ll always be grateful for the foundation PIERS gave me and the incredible people who helped me along the way. \n  \nFrom classroom lessons to real-life impact\, my journey has been guided by inspiring mentors and supportive peers. I’m proud to be a community support worker\, and I carry the lessons of Focus College with me every day.” __Stephanie Carter
