MESSAGE FROM KIM & JONATHAN
Job searching is often much more than just finding the right position, it’s about overcoming a variety of barriers that stand in our way. It requires resilience – the process of adapting to the stressors that can affect an individual’s ability to gain meaningful employment and growing stronger because of them.
The Seven Cs of Resilience, also known as the Essential Building Blocks, are identified as key to helping individuals cope and bounce back after challenges, changes, setbacks, disappointments, and failures. For each Essential Building Block, this year’s annual report highlights 7 incredible stories, each demonstrating a unique path to success despite adversity. Download our 2019-20 Annual Report here. #TogetherWeCan build resilience and ensure everyone has opportunities for employment.
