NATALIE’S STORY
“Transitioning from ballet dancer to accountant was a monumental shift, made possible by the DTRC’s invaluable support and grants. The Skills Grants rekindled my passion for numbers, leading me to complete three Microsoft Excel courses, which initiated my accounting career. The Retraining, Subsistence, and Special Awards Grants enabled me to attain both a Business Administration diploma and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Additionally, DTRC’s counseling services were crucial in navigating this transition both personally and professionally. Their commitment to supporting artists has been pivotal in my shift from the stage to the finance sector.
DTRC allowed me to fully dedicate my time, attention, and energy to my career transition beyond dance, unburdened by financial concerns. This focus enhanced my academic understanding and facilitated valuable networking opportunities, enabling me to secure internships that advanced my career to its current stage.”
