“The Workforce Development Solutions Lab was valuable and will have a lasting impact on why and how I serve my clients. The content and format was rich and unique. I am so glad my company allowed me to attend.”
– Regina Hampton, Mercy Housing
“I would say Cara helped bring inspiration to new ideas on how to operate a workforce development program. They helped paint a picture of what an individual can accomplish when they have space to heal from trauma, learn about employment competencies, and grow through quality coaching. This alone helps identify areas that may be missing or need improvement within your own programming.”
– Matthew Tannenhill, Catholic Charities of Wichita
“The exposure to this refined workforce development business model fills in the blanks rounding out the tough edges on OHCEDC’s program design. We can now add these new ‘best practices’ with the assurance of improved successful placements and outcomes for our participants.”
– Beverly Carlton, Olive Hill Community Development Economic Corporation
“This was an incredible experience! Learning about Cara’s service delivery model, its history, and its organizational culture provided me with valuable insights into ways that we can enhance our organization.”
