“SAW has been very motivational for me! It gave me the push/courage I needed to finish my college education. I guess you could say it’s a refresher course. School at Work, our coach (Susan Landreaux), my mother and my husband were big inspiration for me. I was inspired to keep learning. I knew a lot about this job, but I wanted to know more.”
Sandra Warren told Catalyst Learning that she would encourage everyone to take the challenge. When she found out how convenient it would be to do the School at Work program, she took the step and learned and experienced new things.
“The medical terminology and anatomy & physiology were something I knew would help me understand more about what I deal with everyday. The math was something I needed as well. I didn’t realize just how much I use math skills,” she says. |

Sandra was skeptical when she took the assessment and wasn’t sure she could do it. Then she remembered what she told her kids, “Once you know you’ve done your best, that’s when you can be proud.”
Not only did Sandra successfully complete SAW, she also completed a certificate course to become a Certified Coder. Within six months of graduation ,she was working towards an Associate Degree in Business Administration.
