Testimonials

"The amount of information, exposure, and support is outstanding and greatly surpassed my expectations. Learning about the endless possibilities and pathways was inspiring through the site visits, networking opportunities, and the wide range of unions, representatives, and speakers. What proved extremely useful on my résumé and in interviews was the job readiness training, including PPE and the many certificates. The guidance and continued support have been the most impressive of all."
