From Dental Care to IT: A New Career Path

After 11 years as a Dental Assistant at Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Natosha decided she was ready for a career change. She enrolled in programs covering both Cybersecurity and Network Administration, using both the Ed Fund’s Wage Replacement and Pathway programs along the way. Wage Replacement helped free up the time she needed for coursework and for her family. She graduated with honors in both subjects. “The Ed Fund’s Pathway program guided me towards my goals. The Wage Replacement program was a huge help to allow me to have extra time to spend on school. This also helped by freeing up time to spend with my family when they are home. The Ed Fund is a great tool to use.”
