Employee Recognition

Our very own employees Chrestina & Eliza were featured in a LinkedIn post from Michigan Works! Macomb/St. Clair in celebration of Apprentice Day!

Chrestina started her apprenticeship with no experience in behavioral health and a lot of questions. She worked hard, asked for help, and committed herself to learning everything she could.

With guidance from her mentor, Joseph, she earned multiple certifications and became a Registered Behavioral Technician. She also completed courses in emergency response, HIPAA, legal ethics and integrative behavioral health.

Now she's planning her future in psychology and looking ahead to more education and impact in the field.

Eliza always knew she wanted to continue her education, but the cost made it hard to move forward. Through her apprenticeship in medical billing and coding, she found a better path.

With support from Macomb/St. Clair Michigan Works!, her employer and her college, she is gaining skills in scheduling, Microsoft Office and health care coding—all while working toward her Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certification.

Eliza is building a career in health care administration with a clear plan and strong support system guiding her forward.
