From Uncertainty to Confidence: Maya's Story of Independence
After completing the Digital Skills program, Maya secured a remote data entry position, allowing her to support her young daughter from home.
"When my daughter turned two, I was terrified of how I would provide for us while still being present for her. SMC gave me more than training; they gave me a community that believed in me." — Maya
When Maya first walked into the SMC center, she had been out of the workforce for four years. Balancing childcare with daily expenses left her feeling exhausted and unsure where to start.
Finding her path
Maya enrolled in the Digital Skills & Remote Freelancing course. Over six weeks, she practiced spreadsheets, client communication, and setting up her freelance profile.
During the class, Maya made use of the supervised childcare corner, knowing her daughter was playing safely just down the hall.
Today
Within two months of graduation, Maya secured a steady remote contract with a regional logistics firm. She manages data entry and customer scheduling from home, earning a dependable income while continuing to care for her daughter.
