Four certifications. One partnership creating more opportunities for what's next! 🎉

Through Next Step for Life, we partnered with Persevere Now to help participants earn four certifications that can strengthen their skills and open new doors as they move forward. These certifications include OSHA 10, ServSafe, Workplace Professionalism and Customer Service, Digital Hospitality and Workforce Technology.

This is what we love about bringing the right resources and partners together. It's not just about completing a program. It's about walking away with something tangible that can help someone take their next step with confidence.

A big thank you to Persevere for partnering with us to make this opportunity possible!
