Daniela Valenzuela: A Journey to a Career in Patient Care
Daniela enrolled in the Hostos Division of Continuing Education & Workforce Development’s (CEWD) Patient Care Technician (PCT) Certificate Program hoping to pursue a career in healthcare. The PCT program consists of the following occupational trainings: Certified Nursing Assistant, Electrocardiogram (EKG), Phlebotomy, and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). After successfully completing the course and passing the certification exam, she wanted to find employment. To become a PCT, she needed work experience as a CNA first.
Daniela reached out CEWD’s Career Services staff for help obtaining employment. She attended CEWD’s career development workshops and participated in one-on-one coaching sessions with our Career Services and Employment Coordinator. With support, she also updated her resume and
interviewing skills. In March 2025, Daniela accepted a full-time job as a CNA at BronxCare Special Care Center. This experience will help her reach her ultimate goal—to become a PCT.
Daniela is grateful to CEWD for the support she received. “Thank you so much for your help,” she said. “Hostos Continuing Education definitely changed my life, and I am very grateful to your entire team, especially to you [Juan Vazquez, Career Services and Employment Coordinator] for training me so that I could get the job.”
Thank You to Our Valued Employer Partners
CEWD extends sincere gratitude to the outstanding employers who have provided meaningful job opportunities to our students. Your support not only contributes to their professional development, but also strengthens the community by fostering local talent. Thank you to the following organizations for hiring our students: Your partnership plays a vital role in shaping the future of our students and empowering the next generation of professionals. We look forward to growing and collaborating together in the years to come.
