Job Readiness Training Program
Urban Opportunities and Pathways to Manufacturing

Impact NW 2008-2013

At Impact NW, I supported workforce development initiatives designed to expand economic opportunity for individuals facing barriers to employment. I played a key role in delivering job readiness training through the Urban Opportunities and Pathways to Manufacturing programs (now CORE), helping participants build practical skills, confidence, and clear pathways into sustainable careers. My work centered on building and maintaining strong partnerships across the community — collaborating with local government agencies, private employers, educational institutions, and community organizations to align training with real workforce needs and create meaningful employment opportunities for participants.
