Many of us wish we had the time and energy to go back to school and further our education. Judy Wachaga, a Colleague from Mass Ave., did more than just wish; she WOW!ed! Judy recently received her Certificate of Completion in the Direct Support Program in Human Services from Middlesex Community College. The training she received at MCC will help her in her career at ATI.
According to the MCC website, the Certificate in Direct Support teaches students theory and helps develop the skills needed to provide direct client services in residential or vocational programs, with the goal of improving the quality of life of the clients and helping them achieve maximum possible self-sufficiency.
Direct Support practitioners work directly with individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Having a strong desire to help people as well as sensitivity, patience and flexibility are keys to success.
It was not easy for Judy to pursue this challenge, but she persevered. We congratulate her on a job well done! We are so proud of her. Share your kinds words for Judy below!
Congratulations! It is so difficult to go to school and work at the same time. Good for you!
Great job!!!
Your hard work, determination, and commitment are truly admirable! You’ve shown everyone that anything is possible with a strong will. Congratulations—you are an inspiration to us all!
This was such a heartwarming post—huge congratulations to Judy! It’s always inspiring to see a colleague reach a milestone, especially when it’s celebrated with genuine joy and community support like this. Achievements like Judy’s remind us how important it is to lift each other up and acknowledge hard work. It actually made me think how nice it would be if platforms like Magis TV Gratis offered spotlight segments or short features celebrating everyday heroes and professional milestones. Would you enjoy seeing content like that as part of a feel-good series on Magis TV Gratis?
