History

  

In 2018, Village Career Center was established with a clear mission: to provide educational opportunities to students who traditionally lacked access. This vision was set forth by the President, who, during the COVID-19 epidemic, reflected deeply on how she could make a meaningful contribution to her community.


The President began her professional journey immediately after high school in the field of Early Childhood Development. However, after a brief period working in that sector, she questioned her career choice and decided that education might not be the right fit for her at that time. This led to a series of transitions through various fields including Accounting, Surgical Technology, Practical Nursing, an Associate’s Degree in Nursing, and ultimately a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. Despite these diverse experiences, she eventually returned to the field of education, completing a full circle in her professional life.


Through the establishment and growth of Village Career Center, countless students many of whom may never have imagined the possibility have been given the opportunity to pursue careers in healthcare and serve their communities. The Center has become a vital resource for those seeking a chance to make a difference in the lives of others.
