Meet Claribel Gallegos. 

After years of working long hours in the fast‑food industry and feeling burned out and unrecognized, Claribel was motivated to pursue a career change that could open the door to greater opportunities. Enrolling in Cengage’s flexible, self‑paced Certified Phlebotomy Technician course allowed her to balance a demanding work schedule while building practical, job‑ready skills and earning a technical certification. Completing the program helped Claribel stand out during the interview process and ultimately secure a role in a laboratory setting. Today, she is thriving in a healthcare career that offers growth, benefits and advancement—including a promotion and the opportunity to train others—highlighting how accessible, career‑focused learning can create meaningful, long‑term pathways to success.
