In today’s competitive job market, career certifications aren’t just helpful — they’re life-changing. Monica, a determined participant at Houston Family Scholar House, proves how strategic certifications can open doors and transform futures.
With guidance from Felicia, Regional Coordinator for Houston Scholar House, Monica made a career pivot that was in line with her experience and family needs. She earned a Medical Billing and Coding certification through Houston Community College — a step that offered her stability, a manageable schedule, and the potential for remote work.
But she didn’t stop there. Monica added a Community Health Worker certification from the University of Houston, expanding her skills and giving her access to higher-paying jobs. After years of persistence, she earned the prestigious Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential — a requirement for the secure, union-protected remote position she now holds. She’s also working toward an Oncology Data Specialist credential for even greater earning potential.
Monica’s story highlights the incredible power of certifications — and perseverance! With support, planning, and patience, the right certifications provide more than just credentials — they offer real opportunity, financial stability, and a brighter future.
