Workforce 1

Krys Martinez

Participating in this program was a very valuable experience for me. I completed multiple certifications, including the OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER and the OSHA 15-hour Disaster Site Worker training, which gave me real knowledge about working safely in hazardous environments and responding to emergency situations. I also learned hands-on skills related to environmental work, safety procedures, and teamwork in the field, which I can use both professionally and in my community. The instructors were very supportive, and the overall environment was positive, encouraging, and focused on helping everyone succeed. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain real skills, certifications, and be better prepared for job opportunities and real-life situations.

The Brownsfield Job Training program was a game changer! I started with the mindset of just getting these certifications to advance professionally. However, i gained so much more! We started as strangers, then became classmates and grew into a family. The network that we have created between students, trainers, and of course Ms. Alexandra Hughes is priceless and our growth potential is limitless. I truly valued this experience, and my life is forever changed for the better.

I joined the training with high hopes of adding skills to my resume. I was not left disappointed. There were various of certifications ranging from CPR/FirstAid/AED to Hazardous Materials. The instruction seemed daunting at first but the educators made the material easy to digest. My favorite part was all the hands-on exercises. The skills I’ve acquired have surely impressed my employers and I look forward to continuing practicing disaster work.
