Meet Gary, a participant in our workforce development initiative, NeON Works. Since joining the program in June, he’s taken part in different work-skills courses and has honed his resume with NeON’s team. “I feel like I know so much more now when I go into an interview,” Gary says. “The program taught us what kind of questions we might be asked in interviews and how we can best answer them.”

Gary is now applying for full-time positions and feels confident that NeON Works has given him the tools he needs to land his dream job. We can’t wait to see where he ends up!
