Although I realized manufacturing wasn't the right fit for me during the Manufacturing Bridge Training, I didn't give up. I continued working with JARC staff to explore other career options and am now excited to be accepted into an Administrative Support training program. The skills I’ve gained at JARC have made my goal of working in an office a reality.

JARC gave me opportunities that weren’t available to me before, and for that I’m very grateful.
