My journey has been quite extensive over the 20 plus years in the workforce. Back in 2017 I had been laid off in the fall and I decided I would like to go back to school. A family member mentioned contacting CDS for a guiding hand. From the first phone call speaking, I felt like I had made the right move. The receptionist was very easy to talk to and set me up with an appointment to speak with a case manager. We had several meetings with some wonderful processes that really helped me figure out just what I could do, and what I would be great at for potential employment. I had a very positive experience. My case manager was welcoming and had a very easy way of asking questions that put me in touch with many of my strengths and weaknesses. A short time after, I was contacted by an employer for work and decided financially this would be my better move.

Fast-forward to July 2022. I once again had the opportunity to further my skills and I didn’t hesitate to make the call to CDS for help. I had attended a job fair for the Public Schools Branch and was interested in taking the Bus Driving course. I called the CDS office and they were very busy at that time of year. When I told them I was on a deadline to speak with someone about funding, I was given an appointment very quickly.

Upon meeting my new case manager, she (like the last person) was very welcoming and you could tell right away that she really cares about helping people. She was very clear as to what steps we had to take to get the proper paperwork in order. She put me in contact with all the right people which made the whole experience enjoyable and very easy.

I achieved my goal of becoming a Bus Driver!!! Thank you all and keep up the AWESOME work CDS!!!
