After facing complex medical challenges for eight years, Marie turned to the Social Security Administration’s Ticket to Work program to help her re-enter the workforce. By selecting AAWDC as her Employment Network, Marie was able to access resume assistance, interview preparation, career readiness workshops, and job fairs— resources that helped her refine her job search skills and rebuild her confidence. Her persistence paid off when she secured a position as an International Student Counselor at the Community College of Baltimore County. Marie credits AAWDC’s personalized support for empowering her to achieve her career goals.
