Congrats, Session 91!
The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change her future by merely changing her attitude.”
-Oprah Winfrey-
The women of Session 91 powered through their 9-week job-readiness program and graduated this month!
|
It takes courage for women experiencing homelessness to walk through our doors and take that first step toward change, but they bravely do it, and soon these women are making leaps and bounds toward a brighter future. Five of these women already secured jobs! Congrats Session 91! WE can’t wait to see what you accomplish! |
Another Round of Get a Job Kit!
Another session of our Get a Job Kit Paid Job Training Program just kicked off! Program graduates looking to bolster their resumes, gain experience, and continue their job search started training this week and will participate for six weeks. Throughout this time, the women will gain work experience, training, and confidence to excel as working professionals. We can’t wait to see what these women accomplish!
