November 2020 Featured Alum: Tenisa Pelesauma
The staff at Opportunity Junction made me want to aim for the stars - so I did!
It's been a year full of changes and reinvention in the workplace.
Tenisa Pelesauma, graduate of Opportunity Junction's first ever fully
remote Administrative Career Training (ACT) class 62, knows that better than most!
Tenisa's first big change came when her job driving a commercial truck ended in May 2020. The money was great, but Tenisa was terribly unhappy and ready to find a new career. She knew she wanted to get into the administrative field to provide stability for her two young children and to utilize her strength in customer service and her passion for helping people. Opportunity Junction's ACT program had the training she needed with the flexibility of learning remotely.
