Tammy Fortin, owner of Easterseals Little Lonestar Academy, describes her partnership with Workforce Solutions Capital Area in one word: gift.
A gift to her.
A gift to her teachers.
A gift to her school.
A gift to her spirit.
“When I didn’t think I could do it, they told me I could.”
That’s the power of true collaboration.
After being laid off from a longtime role in healthcare, Cindy felt overwhelmed — unsure where to go or how to start over. That’s when she got connected to Workforce Solutions Capital Area — and everything started to change.
With the right support, she was able to refresh her credentials, find new confidence, and land a job she’s proud of in a place where she feels valued.
“WFS immediately made the turnaround… and caused me to get interviews and ultimately a great job that I’m very, very pleased with.”
Beth Vaughn of St. David’s HealthCare shares how partnering with Workforce Solutions Capital Area is helping address one of healthcare’s most pressing national challenges: a shortage of qualified workers across critical roles.
Through collaborative efforts like the Central Texas Healthcare Partnership, Beth and other employers are strengthening clinical rotation access, improving student engagement, and increasing the number of local nursing graduates — from around 600 in 2019 to nearly 1,300 in 2024.
“Coming together has made the difference in creating a stable pipeline here in Austin.”
This is what happens when community, education, and industry align for long-term impact — and lead by example.
When Jemie talks about her partnership with Workforce Solutions CCS, she doesn’t just mention funding or checklists — she talks about love.
With CCS support, she’s been able to access training, mentorship, compliance tools, and guidance — all of which have helped her center stay open and serve families with confidence and compassion.
“It’s not just an assignment. They care. You’re not alone in this.”
In Jemie’s words: “Thank you for demonstrating love.”
After incarceration, Aimee was connected to Workforce Solutions Capital Area through emergency food benefits. With support from her career navigator and resources like transportation assistance, she found a job aligned with her purpose — and a life of self-empowerment. This is her first real chance.
