 Sacramento News and Review recently shared the story of how Caminar’s Jobs Plus team helped a Solano County woman find her dream job:

Today, she is a classroom paraeducator working with kindergarten and first grade students with special needs.

“I love it,” Carillo says. “I learned something every day. It’s fun, and it feels like I’m giving back to society.”

“I couldn’t have done it without them, that’s for sure,” she adds of the Solano County WDB and Caminar. “Being bipolar and having so much information coming at me brought on anxiety. But they were able to tell me what my next steps were and what would get me from point A to point B.”

Her advice to others?

“Don’t give up. There are resources out there to help you.”
