Mission Moment
Remember Adney?
We have an exciting update for you.
When Adney first came to the GoodWORKS Career Center, he had been out of the workforce for over 15 years. He worked with GoodWORKS Program Manager, Karen Altenhofen, to update his resume and figure out the best job for his skills and needs.
Soon after seeking help from GoodWORKS, Adney started a job working for Amazon. Adney realized the long drive was cost prohibitive for the hours he was working. So, once again, he enlisted the help of GoodWORKS to find gainful employment.
Six months ago, Adney earned a new job. He works as a security guard for State Street, where he uses his Military Police experience and security background. He loves it! The wages are higher, and the drive is closer. Adney’s great work ethic and dedication is evident everyday he’s at work.
We are so proud of Adney and his commitment to work hard.
Employment is More Than a Paycheck
It’s a resounding victory: for the individual, for their family, for their community. When jobs thrive, communities thrive.
