Two years ago, Daphnie Ivie was unemployed and subsequently was referred by the Oregon Employment Department to WorkSource Oregon – Yamhill. She received a GED from Tongue Point Job Corps in 2006 and her work history consisted of entry-level positions including housekeeper, caregiver, medication aid, and cook/barista; all low-paying jobs that did not allow for self-sufficiency.
Career Consultant, Amberly Ruck, who works for Willamette Workforce Partnership’s (WWP) WorkSource Oregon provider, South Coast Business Employment Corporation (SCBEC), met with Daphnie in November 2021. Daphnie expressed her desire to become a truck driver and attend Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) Truck School. Amberly determined that Daphnie was eligible for a SNAP Employment Training Program (STEP) scholarship and she was awarded $5,000 in tuition. The STEP scholarship fully covered the cost of her training at TBCC. Gas cards and rain gear were also provided to support her training efforts.
Daphnie lives in Willamina with her husband and two daughters who are excited and very proud of her accomplishments. She is extremely thankful and grateful for the assistance she has received from WWP and SCBEC.
