What a week! Training programs, cooking classes, pop-up restaurants, and oh, did I mention job trails? We sent our students out on over 24 job trails, and all of them were able to secure new employment opportunities that pay livable wages!
A big thank you to our friends over at Sentara for believing in our program enough to sponsor this cohort. Thank you to PB&J for being such a strong partner and allowing us to use your fantastic space! Thank you to all of our employers who participated in this last cohort; providing our students with hands-on experience is such an essential piece of this program.
Last but certainly not least, a big thank you to our amazing team! Without you all, we would not be able to create our impact. To all of the students who graduated this year, we are proud of every one of you. Remember, this journey is not a short-distance race. You are running a marathon: this voyage requires consistent work, reflection, and discipline.
