It was exciting to be approached to partner with an employer who is a past participant, now the Operations Manager for a local parts company.
I remember the day he came to the computer lab for assistance with his resume. His family had just moved into permanent housing. Shortly after they moved from our campus, he lost his job. He was discouraged and concerned about what might happen next. We created a resume and he applied for an entry level position with the parts company. Within one week, he contacted my office and told me that he had an interview scheduled. The next time we spoke, he advised me that he did get the job.
In less than 2 years, he has become the Operations Manager for that same company.
He came to Community LINC to give back to our agency and offer work that will make someone’s dream a reality. His desire is to bless someone who has a less than favorable background history with a job that will allow their family to move forward and reach their life goals. He understands that even people who have made bad decisions, but have decided to move forward, need support and another chance.
What an awesome gift to give someone during this Christmas season. The gift to work, make a livable income and become self-sufficient.
