Did you know that our IRCO skillsteam at WorkSource N/NE gives out occupational training scholarships? One of our clients shares her story:

“Thanks to Worksource providing me with a scholarship I am now a Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM). The CRM certification makes me eligible for a ton of jobs that I did not meet the requirements previously. The Peer Recovery movement is increasing rapidly and in addition to the many opportunities in this field, I am now considered a Traditional Health Worker I (THW) in the state of Oregon! Thank you very much Worksource team!!"
