Once unemployed, now a full time employee

I arrived in the country without speaking English and I had a hard time finding work. The Foundation helped me get job-ready and supported my family while I searched. I now have a full-time job and I’m proud of what I’ve been able to achieve with their help.

A New Beginning After Job Training

Adja arrived in the country with limited English skills and struggled to find employment. Through our comprehensive job readiness program, she gained confidence, improved her language abilities, and received career guidance. She now has a stable job and is building a better future for her family.

When I arrived, I barely spoke English and nobody wanted to hire me. The Foundation's program helped me with language support, job training, and interview coaching. Now I have a good job and I'm so grateful. They believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.
