Medical assistants are needed in every healthcare setting, from hospitals and clinics to primary care practices and specialists, and play a crucial part in ensuring these facilities run smoothly and seamlessly. Here, a graduate of the Medical Assistant program describes her experience at Pennco Tech and how we helped her launch a new, successful career.Nelida Bermudez\u2019s StoryBefore coming to Pennco Tech, Nelida Bermudez was a long-time elementary school teacher and even owned a daycare center. She had to close down her daycare center, but she viewed it as an opportunity to gain new skills and pursue a new career. That\u2019s when she found our Medical Assistant program.\u201cI wanted something different and a change in my career, and Pennco Tech offered me the opportunity,\u201d she says.Bermudez explains she has always been a \u201cpeople person\u201d and likes to take care of everybody, from children to older adults, which is what made the program attractive to her in the first place. When she took a tour of campus, learned about the curriculum, and saw the program\u2019s up-to-date equipment, she knew Pennco Tech was the right place to pursue her education.\u201cWhen I walked into Pennco Tech, it was like they placed open arms around me,\u201d she says. \u201cThey were very friendly, and that was important to me. Everything about Pennco Tech stood out to me. The instructors were very professional, and they showed me the program and lab. That\u2019s when I knew that this is where I wanted to be, and I knew I was going to learn a great deal.\u201dUpon graduating in 2018, Bermudez received employment preparation assistance through Pennco Tech\u2019s Career Services department, which sets up interviews with potential employers and helps current students and graduates alike get ready for interviews, write resumes, and much more.\u201cThey helped me find a job right after I graduated from school,\u201d she says. \u201cPennco Tech offers the best career services program for after you graduate.\u201dHer favorite thing about Pennco Tech, though, was the friendly, open, and warm environment she had the pleasure of learning in every day.\u201cComing here every morning for seven months was amazing. I just wanted to come here every day,\u201d she adds. \u201cI made a lot of friends, and I still go to dinners and keep in touch with them. I am very happy with the decision I made to attend Pennco Tech.\u201dLearn More About Our Career Training ProgramsBermudez is just one of many Pennco Tech alumni who are currently experiencing success in high-demand trade careers, such as the ones our Medical Assistant and other programs help prepare students for.
