Ashley & Jacqui Derrick

 

Ashley Derrick & Jacqui Derrick/Workright, LLC

The Drug Lady is an important team member for any business wishing to create or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Our “Drug Lady” is powered by two  amazing ladies- a mother-daughter team who have been working together for almost 30 years. Jacqui Derrick developed the original Drugs Don’t Work program in Georgia back in 1994 shortly after the Drug Free Workplace Act was signed into law. Since then, she’s helped hundreds of business owners across the southeast implement and maintain their Drug Free Workplace programs. You can ask anyone- she’s the Original Drug Lady. In 2003 she recognized the need for a dedicated drug testing facility in the Atlanta area to serve employers. We’ve been managing that facility ever since. Her daughter, Ashley, stood no chance. Ashley started helping Jacqui with office work and creating  training programs for younger audiences as a teenager. The two became a staple in the industry, working together to help their clients navigate difficult situations, interpret results, assisting with policy creation and management, and educating teams on how drugs can affect a person as well as their livelihood and those around them. If you’ve got a question, chances are they’ve seen it and have the answer. And if you’ve got a story to tell, even better! 

A woman owned and operated small business located in the Atlanta Metro Area specializing in creating and managing Drug-Free Workplace programs for employers. Started in 1999, Workright opened their own testing facility in 2003. They strive to provide their clients with a one stop shop for all their substance abuse program questions and concerns.

Communication, education and safety above all!

Commerce City Schools’ Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) and Work-Based Learning (WBL) programs are designed to prepare students for success beyond the classroom by connecting academic learning with real-world experience. Through hands-on instruction, industry-aligned pathways, and meaningful partnerships with local businesses and community organizations, students gain practical skills that translate directly into today’s workforce.

The CTAE program offers students exposure to high-demand career fields, helping them explore interests, develop technical competencies, and earn industry-recognized credentials. Complementing this instruction, the Work-Based Learning program provides structured opportunities for students to apply what they learn in authentic workplace settings through internships, job shadowing, apprenticeships, and paid employment.

Together, these programs emphasize career readiness, professionalism, and personal responsibility while fostering strong connections between students, educators, and employers. By blending classroom instruction with on-the-job learning, Commerce City Schools equips students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to succeed in college, technical education, military service, or immediate entry into the workforce.
