Tenorio. The guidance received during WEP provided a gateway to a successful transition with the business organization.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My first day of work was on Oct. 12, 2012, and it was under the guidance of my mentor, Ms. Emi H. Agulto, and my former supervisor, Mrs. Janice A. Tenorio, that I have been able to learn and develop skills that will help me in all my future aspirations,\u201d added Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz also has attributed her outcome to WIA, Saipan Chamber of Commerce\u2019s board of directors, former executive director Richard Pierce and current executive director Patrick Leon Guerrero, as well as her current supervisor, Agulto.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz\u2019s words of encouragement to others seeking for job training opportunities: &#8220;Every career must begin somewhere and I encourage all individuals seeking employment training to consider starting with the Workforce Investment Agency.
