Madison worked with her case manager to learn interview techniques and resume writing while building her confidence, skills and abilities to enter the workforce.
Outcome and Benefits:

“Take the opportunity! You will not find another program with individuals who care about your future as much as the South Bay One-Stop Center. I have met many caring and inspiring adults and mentors during this process, and I couldn’t be more grateful for my experiences. During the pandemic, I was still given the utmost support regardless of the circumstances.”
