What do you love most about your job?
So far, I am loving facilitating Career Readiness with our students. They are so receptive of the topics and are excited about their future careers in tech, and that energy is contagious!
Why Persevere?
With a background in workforce development, I’ve seen many barriers that job seekers face, but none as extreme as the justice-involved population. It is an honor to serve this population alongside a positive, motivated team.
