We are so excited to see JVS alum Melissa Gurule featured in The Wall Street Journal this week, highlighting her journey into a stable career.

Melissa’s story reflects something we see every day at JVS: people with talent, resilience, and ambition who just need access to the right training, support, and opportunity to move forward.

Through JVS, Melissa trained as a dental assistant and is now in a dental career she loves, building stability for herself.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. When we invest in high-quality training and strong employer partnerships, we can help close that gap and create real pathways to the middle class and beyond.
