Jason
18 Years of Age
“Living in a small town with limited opportunities, Jason wasn’t sure where to start. Together, we worked on creating a personalized plan to help him pursue his employment goals and secure a reliable job. Through this process, he gained the confidence to push forward, knowing he had support. He landed a job in Travel & Tourism and felt that he wouldn’t have been able to secure it without the assistance.”
Trista
