Participating in the Pathways to Employment program has been a very rewarding experience. The CDC team was great to work with providing education to guide me through the process, maintaining strong communication, and following up to ensure everything was running smoothly.
Through this program, I’ve grown as a manager, it has taught me how to approach situations with greater understanding and patience. What makes the program truly rewarding is the opportunity to help someone better themselves not just in their career, but in life. That inspiration goes both ways, benefiting both the employer and the employee.
I’ve taken on more of a mentor role, offering guidance around healthy lifestyle choices, professionalism, and taking responsibility for your actions. My goal was not only to help my employee become a skilled barber, but also to grow into a better version of themselves who can succeed in whatever path they choose.
In conclusion, this program supports growth on both sides, employer and employee and provides real opportunities for people to excel.
