"This workshop helped so much; I developed clearer goals and a better game plan after taking it, and once I had those goals in place, I was able to then really target the job market I fit into. I went on my first live interview, and got the job -- thank you so much for giving me the tools to succeed beyond The Plains." -- Summer 2011 Participant
