WORKFORCE READINESS
“The Workforce Readiness program starts your adult life with assistance in job searching, building your resume, and obtaining certifications. To me, success is a set schedule and knowing financial stability is within reach. I want people to know they aren’t who they used to be. You can wake up one day and be a whole new person.”
