gener8tor Skills Impact Series | Angelica Cervantes

Описание: Sometimes the biggest career shifts start with staying curious and open to what’s possible.

In this episode of our gener8tor Skills Impact Series, Anne Nadel sits down with Angelica Cervantes, Chief Operating Officer at YWCA San Antonio, to talk about what skills training can unlock when people are supported as whole humans, not just learners.

Angelica shares how YWCA first connected with gener8tor Skills through the City of San Antonio’s Ready to Work program and how one of their own team members enrolled in the Data Analytics course to build new skills while already working full time.

That experience turned into real transformation. The participant applied what she learned directly on the job, grew into a data analyst role, and was later promoted to oversee data processes and analytics across the entire organization.

A few themes from the conversation:
👉 Skills training works best when it’s paired with real world application, not theory alone
👉 Flexibility and hands on learning make upskilling possible alongside work and life responsibilities
👉 Wraparound support like coaching, case management, and mental health services help people finish what they start
👉 When learners are supported, confidence grows and new career pathways open
