When Brittany entered the GOALS program in March 2017 she had recently moved to the area from out of state. Shortly after her move, her living arrangements fell through, so she and her husband found themselves homeless and without jobs. Brittany’s Career Navigator immediately referred her to a partnering agency that offered a housing assistance program. With their help, Brittany was able to move into an apartment and get utilities turned on. The Career Navigator also helped Brittany set up a professional email account and acquire a cell phone. Through the GOALS program and partnering job-readiness programs, Brittany got help building a professional resume, and she attended a mock interview session where she had the opportunity to get feedback from local employers. She was also able to pick out some new interview clothing from the Hope Closet.
Brittany faced many roadblocks but she has conquered every single one of them and is now successfully employed full time and receiving retention services. Brittany has expressed gratitude for the GOALS program and the services she has received. The Southwest GO Team is so proud of Brittany and her accomplishments!
