Lasondra Wells enrolled in the WIOA ITA program in July 2023. She worked part-time while attending Southeastern Technical College in the Radiologic Technology Program. She needed additional assistance fulfilling the financial burden of attending college. WIOA covered the cost of fees, testing, uniforms, and transportation. Lasondra worked diligently and earned an Associate Degree in Radiologic Technology.

Lasondra had this to say about her time in the WIOA program. “I decided to pursue my dreams in the medical field as a Radiologic Technologist. Only working part-time, there was a huge decrease in my income. For 16 months, the WIOA program has been a heaven-sent resource for me because it helped pay for many expenses. These expenses included Basic Life Support Certification, supplies for each class, gas to travel to class and clinical sites, scrubs, shoes, uniforms, graduation fees, ARRT testing, etc. I don’t know how I would have made it financially through school without WIOA assistance. I am now a registered Radiologic Technologist! Thank you WIOA!”
