Testimonials

"In the fall of 2024, I was given another opportunity to work with Carolina Canyon Co., this time through their Workforce Development Cohort. This program provided training in resume building, trauma-informed practices, networking, financial care, and interview preparation. Through this cohort, I secured my career position as a switchboard operator at Georgetown Hospital."

"I participated in Carolina Canyon’s Workforce Readiness Program (Prosper DC) during the Fall of 2023. By participating in Prosper DC, I was not only able to update my workplace and financial skills; I was able to increase my network connections which helped me to become gainfully employed. I’ve worked with the Department of Employment Services, Office of Youth Programs for the past two years as a Workforce Development Specialist for the Mayor Marion Barry Summer Youth Program (MBSYEP). "

"This program helped me strengthen my resume, improve my LinkedIn profile, obtain professional headshots, and actively apply for jobs with greater confidence and direction. While I have not yet secured a position, this program has truly started me on my journey toward employment and professional growth. Before joining, I felt lost. After being unemployed for eight months, I found myself in a difficult and discouraging place. This program gave me structure, purpose, and motivation. More importantly, it provided me with valuable knowledge and practical tools that I will continue to use moving forward."
