“After losing my job of 15 years, I recently participated in your WIOA program. I wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I value the WIOA team who helped me in my new job search. Although I was only in the program a short time, these wonderful ladies made quite an impact on me. They were so patient and helpful, and their workshops were invaluable for me.  I could not have found a new job so quickly without their guidance. Thank you so much!!” Debra
