CareerWise DC graduate Adrienne Ramirez completed her DC HEAL apprenticeship at Whitman Walker Health as a CMAA and CMA. She’s well on her way to her career goal: Surgeon. cityworksdc.org/in-the-news/…

Through CareerWise DC, apprentices typically complete upwards of 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and earn approximately $40,000. It’s a valuable earn-and-learn pathway combining paid on-the-job training with technical instruction and an industry-recognized credential.

These four people made CareerWise DC possible. Lateefah Durant, Marullus Williams of LimbicSystems, Dr. Erin Ward Bibo, and Emily Durso each played a foundational role in making career-connected learning a reality for DC students.

For many students, back to school means new classes. For CareerWise DC's incoming cohort, it means new classes and a job. This fall, our newest apprentices begin earning wages, building credentials, and gaining real work experience, thanks to these employers.
