ARELI
CDL PROGRAM
For Areli, joining the Latino Academy marked a turning point in her personal and professional journey. Through programs like CDL training, she discovered tools that helped her grow, gain confidence, and open doors she hadn’t imagined.
“The Academy supported me in developing my skills and expanding my knowledge across different areas,” Areli explains. “It helped me step out of routine and into new opportunities I never imagined.” These changes not only led to better job prospects but also laid the foundation for building a more promising future in business.
The impact has reached her family as well. As she gained insight and motivation, she became an example for her loved ones. “The Academy inspired me to keep growing and to encourage others—especially my family—to take advantage of the resources available in our community,” she says. “It brings me pride and joy to represent my Latino identity in the workplace and beyond.”
Areli continues to build toward her goals, grounded in the knowledge, support, and inspiration she found at the Latino Academy. “These programs have been key in helping me build a better future—one that reflects who I am and what I’m capable of achieving.”
