Jeff knew he would face some tough challenges in his job search. Last October, he was unexpectedly laid off after eight years as a warehouse laborer. Before that, he worked in construction. “Physically, I knew I couldn’t do that kind of work anymore,” said Jeff, who is in his late 50s.

It's about helping you know and feel the impact of your support and how it is making a difference in our job seekers' lives.
