Husband and wife CATC graduates open two businesses
Shawann James graduated in December 2006 from the LPN program at Capital Area Technical College Westside Campus in Plaquemine. She is a testament of leadership and determination. As a wife and mother of three, she enrolled in the Practical Nursing program at the Westside Campus. Shawann earned excellent grades and was also elected SGA president.
After graduation, Shawann worked as an LPN for four years. Her LPN work experience allowed her to find a niche in the medical field. That revelation led her to open her own business, Pilut Healthcare Services, LLC. A company that provides CPR/First Aid Training for individuals/groups and risk management studies. The company has expanded to two locations one in Baton Rouge and one in Plaquemine. (www.piluthealthcare.com)
Shawann's husband, Brett James is also a CATC success story. Brett graduated from the Barbering/Styling Program at the Baton Rouge Campus. After graduating and obtaining his Barbering license, Brett opened Golden Leaf Cuts, a barber shop in Plaquemine, LA.
When asked about her experience at CATC Shawann said "You can be anything you want in life. My experience at Westside Campus was a true learning experience. It provided me with knowledge and skills that I use every day. I wouldn't change a thing. I am glad I chose Capital Area Technical College, Westside Campus."
Congratulations to this CATC husband and wife entrepreneurial dynamo who are doing big things in the Greater Baton Rouge Area!
