Once I found out that Skills could help me pay for college and find a job, that seemed like a smart idea that provided a lot of opportunity, so I applied. Being in Skills' career coaching meetings and group interviews helped me get a job, build structure, and save more money because I had that opportunity. If my mentor couldn’t help me find a solution, he’d put me in contact with someone who could. That in its own way was helpful because he’s just trying to see me do better and improve. He’s given me the resources to do that and network with other people, and I appreciate that the most.
