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 workforce training program designed to address staffing shortages and expand access to opportunities.
We asked them all the same question:
How has receiving funds through the Caring Gene® Program changed your life?
“It gave me the opportunity to be a full-time mom and a full-time student without the stress of worrying about how I was going to pay for my tuition and continue my education.”
“I was unsure how I was going to balance working with my graduate program. I was nervous about making ends meet financially. With the Caring Gene® Program, I’ve been able to remain stress-free regarding school expenses.”
“Without these funds, I wouldn’t have been able to return to college and fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse.”
“This program has allowed me to go back to school as a non-traditional student. It’s truly changed my life. Without the Caring Gene®, I would’ve been too overwhelmed with five kids, working full time, and being a wife—then adding a student on top of that, plus worrying about how to pay for tuition. That’s too much for anyone, so I feel like this program really was an answer to my prayers.”
“It helped me focus on going back to school, not how I would afford it.”
“I would not have been able to follow this career path without the Caring Gene® Program. I am extremely grateful. It has changed my life completely for the better.”
There’s still time to join this healthcare workforce training program!
Every student is different, but there’s one common thread: When funding removes the financial burden, people are free to focus on what matters. They have the opportunity to build a better future for themselves and their loved ones.
Funding through our healthcare workforce training program is limited. Get started today to see if the Caring Gene® Program may be the right fit for you.
