HEATHER GOMES, a single mother, had relatively few
job skills when she enrolled in a two-year course to become a certified
radiology technologist at Kaiser Permanente’s School of Allied
Health Sciences in Richmond, California. After earning her certification,
she got an X-ray technologist job at Kaiser Permanente, and three
years later, returned to the school while working weekends and some
evenings, this time to get her certification in sonography. She
now performs ultrasound examinations of babies and adults. She says,
“It feels good to say I have accomplished this, and this is
something that I have done for myself and my son.”
