Martha recently graduated from the 20 week Certified Hospitality Personnel program at Lokken College with a focus on the Food and Beverage Server stream. During her program, Martha studied for and wrote the GED exams, completed emerit training for further certification as a Food and Beverage Server, and attended daily Career Path Management presentations to improve her soft skills and become more employable. She also created an eye-catching resume and cover letter, and worked directly with her instructor to improve her interviewing skills.

When looking back on her program, Martha said: “I learned about getting my GED diploma, Emerits Certificate, it was fun learning about the workshops… It was a fun experience.” Congratulations on your success, Martha! We look forward to hearing from you during the 90 day and 180 day follow ups.
