Junaed’s journey from gig-based work to a stable career in healthcare was made possible by the BeTech Foundation’s Phlebotomy & EKG Certification Pilot Program. As an immigrant, Junaed struggled to find long-term employment while working for DoorDash to support his family. The BeTech program covered all of his training costs, eliminating financial barriers and providing mentorship along the way. This transition to healthcare gave Junaed job security, and for the first time, access to health insurance through his new role.

The impact of this career change extended beyond personal growth. With a stable income, Junaed can now provide consistent financial support for his family, ensuring greater financial security and quality of life.
