Tamika, Alabama Career Launch participant“I am glad Career Launch is being offered virtually because I am able to enhance my skills without the worry of transportation, commuting or childcare. It is also giving me the opportunity to incorporate my technical skills that I am learning daily, making the knowledge very practical.”
This is a program designed to help participants make connections – with peers, with employers and with the community at large.
The work – live lessons, group discussions, coaching and more – as well as the fun, which includes dynamic guest speaker sessions, game nights and membership on Career Launchpad, our private Facebook group, are all designed to bring our participants together in ways that are engaging, meaningful and enjoyable.
