"Initially, I was a bit skeptical—especially since I was already in college, and the criteria seemed intimidating. However, after going through the program, I found the experience was phenomenal. I was exposed to incredible opportunities, including earning an additional certification and securing a job almost immediately!

Now, working hands-on in the field, I find it incredibly rewarding to have been given such a life-changing opportunity—to do something I never imagined and truly thrive in it. I’m beyond happy and grateful to nsoro and Cherry Street for putting me in a position to succeed."
