“After suffering a job loss related to the Pandemic, I was unsure how to navigate my way back to meaningful full-time employment. My Career Counselors always provided me with a wealth of information. They steered me to training classes I needed to upgrade my skills to return to an office environment after a 20-year absence. I am truly thankful for the resume skills workshop, the interview workshop, and the regular meetings to help me move forward to find the right job for me. I was able to land the perfect job for me in the commercial insurance industry!”

“I thought the program was great! It’s nice to know that there are programs like this one that is both credible and extremely beneficial to young adults. Although I went into the program not expecting too much, I learned quite a few things about soft skills and leadership, and in the end, I received a considerable amount of money that I could use for college. I would recommend this program to anyone.”
