Hi I am Corliss. I came in contact with Mosaic(once known as CWJC) August of 2011. When I first came to this area I was on TANF, Foodstamps,Medicaid and we were new to the community. We came from San Marcos where I was a full time Kennel Tech to take care of my fiance' elderly aunt and mother. I was not able to find work right away so had to become dependent on government assistance and with that came the responsibility of doing work searches,training and community service. I was going to one of my weekly check-ins and Julie Minter was there passing out flyers for the Fall 2011 classes. They offered classes in computers.office software,typing,budgeting and other job and communication skills,but I also needed to fulfill community service hours as well so I called Julie and she allowed me to do my community service by helping get the classroom set up and organized for the classes. In September classes started and I was a participant as well as a volunteer/the classes were great,and very informative. After classes were over I continued to volunteer occasionally but sporadically as i needed to find work. Julie went to the board and asked them to help me pay for a class in a field that is not so well known or even liked which is the animal control field. The board and Julie approved a grant for me to go to Katy, Texas to obtain my Basic Animal Control Certificate. After a year of applying for work in this field I finally obtained a job in the animal control field as a kennel worker for the City of League City making $ 11.16 an hour. I now also have a euthanasia certificate and working my way into an animal control officer position. I love my job I am about to complete my 4th month with the city..On my 6th Month anniversary I will be going to Giddings,Texas for my advanced animal control officer certificate. I just got back from a TFACS( Texas Federation of Animal Care Societies) conference(one of the many perks of my profession). Having this Certificate has opened so many doors for me thanks to Julie and Mosaic
