People's pasts
ought not determine their futures, especially if they are trying to get back on
their feet.
The Germanna Community College Center for Workforce & Adult Education's
Adult Career Center, the Thrive Healing Center, an organization that provides
comprehensive services to women, and VA Cares, a statewide program that gives
support for ex-offenders needing to re-enter the workforce, have recently
joined forces to provide a process for select women in need of help. Thrive
will take the lead in determining the best fit for each person. Some may be
sent directly to the Adult Career Program and Michelle Beverage for help with
resumes and the job search. Others will begin with life coach courses at VA
Cares led by volunteers at Thrive. Together the organizations hope to make a
difference for women trying to restart their lives.
"“I’m looking forward to working together with Thrive
& VA Cares to help coach these women toward successful career
pathways," Beverage said.
All
services funded by a U.S. Department of Labor ETA grant award. This is the
creation of the grantee and does not necessarily reflect the official position
of the USDOL.
