Meet Deborah Herrera

Deborah Herrera, a Latin-American woman, faced uncertainty after losing her managerial position at Pottery Barn/Williams Sonoma during the 2023 layoffs. Seeking new opportunities, she discovered the South Bay One-Stop in Torrance and its comprehensive resources through a career counselor.

The WIOA program played a pivotal role in her career rebuild, providing funding for training in California Labor Law and Human Resources Management, which facilitated her transition into Human Resources. With her counselor’s support, Deborah successfully completed her MBA and secured a position as an HR Specialist in a private sector company that partners with S&P 500 businesses, applying her newfound skills and knowledge to foster organizational success.
