I completed this two career focus training after being laid off. This training was a great experience because it provided me with the confidence of knowing that I had what it took to get the job that I am targeting. The staff were great.
This experience was well worth it! I feel that I have learned many informative things that will definetly help me in the future!
Overall, the CDL permit class was extremely helpful. I think that based on individual needs, the program could be more tailored . For example, if you do not need a particular class , the client should be able to work on the area that is most needed. All instructors were extremely professional and wanted everyone to be successful. The mock interviews were also great, and gave me the opportunity to sharpened my interview skills and knowledge. The only area I think that needs a little improvement is the receptionist area.

I had the best experience with New Direction. I been out of work for a year. I always wanted to obtain my CDL but I didn't have enough time and money. I became depressed about my situation. A friend of mine sent me picture of the flyer to obtain my cdl in January. I called new direction and they told me to call back in March. I called back and they told me to get everything I need to see if I was gonna be accepted in their program. April I came for orientation with a classroom with about 50 people. I interviewed with Mrs. Sonia Harrison and I begged her to allow me to be apart. I got accepted and the program all of the teachers were awesome. They were polite and they went beyond and above to see that I understood everything that was taught. The program cover all things aspects to remain employed. They rebuilt my confidence and equip me with everything I need to prosper in life. They were concerning about personal issues and understanding of things that come along with life. I'm so grateful that I attended Maryland New Direction there name fits them because they gave me a new direction mentally to move forward in life in spite my short comings.

Coming here to Maryland New Direction was AWESOME!!!! It gave me a lot more tips about how to do a resume as the nature of one. I also learned the nature of an interview, how to act during an interview and what to do after an interview (i.e. send a thank you note). And more than anything else, I got a chance to get an official certification from a hotel organization. I'm glad to be in this organization's job bank and also for the 2 weeks I spent here. I hope to implement the principals I learned here so I can get a job sooner.
Coming to MND has changed my outlook on job search communication with people and learning how to take the good with the bad.I did not get off to a great start because im a very defensive person .Ive learned that everyone is not against me and how to receive help and criticism.
Maryland New Directions doesn't just offer the tips and information to find gainful employment. Their program is a confidence builder

Maryland New Directions really helped me see what my goal is and the barrier that i had to get around. The program taught me to never sell myself short, if there's something i want to do but might not be qualified for, then take the necessary steps to get there. Have a plan, stay focus, and you'll get what you aimed for...
It was an excellent experience and it taught many skills that will be necessary when searching and maintaining employment.
Maryland New Direction (MND) is a comprehensive career focus program that gives its client(s) a breadth, depth, and application of new career possibilities. I am impressed with MND holistic approach to individuals like myself that are are on the cusps of a career change. The difficult part of the program is the separation anxiety that comes from bonding with your peers. But no need to worry, MND job coaching and tracking program
ensures that you have job support for life that, in itself, far exceeded my expectations.
A well earned five starts. I highly recommend the MND program.
This entire program was very helpful for me I was able to gain a lot a professional experience for hospitality, doing interviews and telling us what to do and what not to do when looking for a job, securing that job and how to act professionally
Maryland New Directions has helped me learn more about myself and the proper ways of writing resumes, cover letters, and the proper way to interview. The staff is fantastic and does there best to help you in every possible way they can. Thank you, Maryland New Directions, you are a truly a hidden gem.
Maryland new directions have great staff and job coaches that are very focused and determine to help each client find , and be educated about any job they want to have and give them skills that they can use in every day life , and the job field.
it was extremely helpful in letting me know everything that was wrong in my resume. it also shaped me vocabulary on what and what not to say in an interview.
I've known about this class months in advance and being in a homeless situation with a 4yr old child. I was determine to take this opportunity and make the best out of it. Not knowing my next step and walking out on faith. The day before orientation my child had a fever of 104 with pneumonia and flu all in one. Waking up every 4-6 hours through out the night giving my baby medicine and not getting any sleep. I woke up late, I was determine to get in this class. I got in the door and the front desk person said, they were no longer accepting people in the training class. I wasn't taking No for a answer. I sat in the lobby for 4 hours waiting to be seen. During my wait, I kept a smile and a positive attitude. Once accepted I cried because I got a opportunity that will change OUR LIVES FOREVER.
Thank you Sonja Harrison for pushing me and helping me see things in a different light. (Sun Shine) Andra Harrison for seeing my strive, determination and motivation to be successful. Allowing me to be apart of this wonderful training class, when they were no longer accepting people. To Mr. Stevephen for teaching us the material and giving the best hands on experience throughout this course. Thank you again Maryland New Direction
Pleased to have been apart of Maryland New Directions. Words can't explain how happy and excited I am to have finished the (CTC) training. From working on resumes to receiving help about interviewing skills. I received plenty of information to carry into the future. This experience have definitely impacted me in a great way. Thankful for everyone that was apart of the team at MND.
The Maryland New Directions program was excellent. The instructors made themselves available and genuinely seemed to care. Like anything ,you get out off it what you put in it. I would recommend it to anyone looking to better him /her self and or a change in careers.
MND is a great program for employment. I was amazed by the amount of information you can obtain to be successful and how much information I did not know personally. All the coaches were inspirational and dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to ensure that I was getting all the tools I need to be successful. They were very encouraging and gave great advice. I am so glade to be apart of this program!
My experience with this Maryland New Directions was a very informing and enjoyable. All the instructors showed that the genuinely cared about us as individuals and wanted to see us succeed not only as CDL drivers but as human beings. We were taught us life skills that we can use for the rest of our careers and even in our personal lives. I am honored to of had this experience and I wish MND more years of success.
I am very Blessed to have come to MND. My coming to this program has really helped me to get out of my comfort zone with the way I have been doing my job searching, resume and interview process. My job coach Ms. Sonya was very helpful and encouraging throughout my participating in the CTC Training Program to obtain my CDL.
My experience with MND has been positive I learned a lot about myself and my learning abilities. My only suggestion would be to keep all the interview skills and resume and application skills until the end. It was kinda detracting to keep switching back and forth, even though the information was useful. I would definitely recommend this program to my peers. My coach was very supportive, and worked with me as being a single mother transitioning careers. It was one time when I was very overwhelmed and Mr. Lamont was very supportive and encouraged me to take it a day at a time. It was very comforting because he wasn't judgemental at all, and I appreciated that.
This has been a challenge for me. I say that because i work at night and still try to make here on time. They work with through everything and have faith in your success. It has been a very great experience.
I learned so much here. The staff is is consistent with helping us everyday and being positive. I want to refer everyone i care about to come here. I feel like a better women thank you MND.
Very good program. Staff was eager to help you succeed. The idea of having a job closet for clothing to attend class in business attire was a plus. i learned so much in 3 weeks to come from a background in healthcare to CDL Bus operator was scary and frightening but well worth it.
my experience at MND is an excellent one from my peers to the job coaches and rest of staff. I have learned a lot to help me continue my path with transportation. Thank You all for helping me succeed and pushing me to the next level.
The Career Focus program at MND is excellent for anyone who needs to improve their skills in how to find a job and learn more about themselves as a job seeker. The staff is professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable in the respective specialties. It was great to be with people from all walks of life, educational levels and cultures in the same environment with a common goal -- success! Many thanks to everyone at MND and congratulations on 44 years of helping people in Baltimore City!
The job training experience was an extremely good opportunity to brush up on proper work behaviors. My greatest takeaway was the interpersonal skills data. Overall, the training was very helpful and the staff are definitely committed and passionate about providing this necessary service.
I enjoyed the class, so much information was given. The tools will be very rewarding, when job searching. I will tell all my friends about my experience at MND. Thank You,
Veronica Lunn
