Kim was accepted into New Moms’ job training program, the Academy of Professional Development, in January 2013. She excelled in class and was a natural leader. With help from her Supportive Employment Specialist, Kim was able to remove personal barriers to employment and obtain a job immediately after finishing the program. She now works at Charter One Bank as a bank teller and has a bright future ahead of her.
This past month, we were happy to have Kim come back as a guest speaker in our training classroom. She talked about her own financial journey and gave tips and guidance on how to manage personal finances. Kim discussed the benefits of banking at Charter One Bank and assisted some of the current Academy participants in opening up their first bank accounts.
