Testimonials
"I was a faithful employee...that was until the plant closed and the work was divided. After twelve and one-half years, I was laid off. I decided to take a course in Medical Office Specialist and Certified Professional Coding at Wayne County Schools Career Center and Adult Education. My experience was wonderful and the teachers were helpful. I am now employed in credentialing, billing and coding. I love it! I want to thank the ETC and ODJFS for the support. Everyone that I have worked with at the Employment and Training Connection has been so kind and supportive. I felt like they were always cheering me on. I truly believe that without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. "
