We had such an amazing morning with Columbus Works powered by Goodwill Columbus!

Their team was kind enough to host us and let us participate in part of their free four-day job training and personal career coaching program — and wow, what a great experience. They’re doing incredible work preparing individuals for success and helping people take real steps forward.

We’re so excited to partner with Columbus Works as we continue building out our training program here in Columbus. We can already see how this collaboration is going to create great opportunities for participants in both of our programs.

Thank you again — we’re grateful for you and excited for what’s ahead!

Fully furnished apartments are more than just a place to live; they're a catalyst for positive change. When a participant secures their apartment, our national partner CORT steps in to provide essential household items and furniture.

With their homes ready and welcoming, our participants can cut down on expenses associated with furnishing. This allows them to start the path to financial independence. Learn more about partnering with us at https://lnkd.in/gx4cbGhS.
