A huge thank you to CareerSource Central Florida for helping me find my passion and a career. I was able to go to EMT school and ultimately find my passion of Firefighting and Emergency Medicine. Without this collective help, I would not be where I am at today. This program genuinely changed my life for the better and I can’t say thank you enough.
