Success Stories
“This is just the kind of job I was hoping for when I first came to Challenge. We sat down and talked about the kinds of things I liked, and what I was good at. I told them that I’d like to work at Cornell, and that’s where they found me a job. They taught me everything I needed to know…The more you take on responsibilities, the more you learn, and the better you get…I like my job, and I like coming to work every day.”
Eric Hull (Cornell)
"[The Challenge Job Club Staff] really motivated us and shared so much valuable information. They kept us focused and made us realize that anyone can be successful in a job search if they make the most of their education and life experiences. The support I got, not only from the instructors, but from the other members of the group, meant so much. Many of us have stayed in touch and we share information and advice.”
Ronde Whitaker (Challenge - Administrative Assistant)
"At Challenge, I have learned how to work and do my own stuff. I came to Trader K’s and got a job. It’s so helpful working with Erinn [my Employment Advisor] and everyone at the shop.”
