In Their Own Words
In Their Own Words is a monthly series featuring insights and feedback from Caring Gene® participants—because the people best equipped to tell the story of the CPT Program are those who’ve lived it.
The following students had their tuition and books covered by the Caring Gene® Program, a healthcare training program designed to address staffing shortages and expand access to opportunities in the industry.
We asked them all the same question:
What would you say to someone considering the Caring Gene® Program?
“Take the opportunity and believe in yourself.”
“This program is a great way to further your education without the added stress of paying for school.”
“This is an awesome opportunity with lots of good resources. Follow your dreams with the support of the Caring Gene® Program.”
“Go for it! After graduation you’ll have help finding a job. In my case, the approved employers were all places I was hoping to work for, anyway.”
“It’s a chance at a better life.”
“The Caring Gene® Program is a friend that’s there for you when you need it most.”
“It’s a great program to help you access higher education.”

“I’ve recommended the Caring Gene® Program to everyone I know.”
“It’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”
