Digital Works – Reeb Avenue Center, Columbus, Ohio Graduates
Celeste:
“I’ve been out of work for over 10 years. I couldn’t work due to a disability and I stayed home raising my three kids. I heard about Digital Works through an event at the Godman Guild and was attracted to the flexibility of the opportunities and the various national employers. I have a lot of customer service experience and used to work in sales. It sounded like a good fit.”
“I’ve applied for a position that will allow me multiple breaks throughout the day, which I need due to my disability. I’m excited to be able to start helping my family financially again.”
Ben:
“I have a degree in Game and Simulation Programming, but I have a 30 month employment gap and haven’t been able to find a job. I had to take care of my mother for a few years. She’s doing better now, so I moved here to Columbus a year ago looking for opportunities. I have a physical disability and haven’t been able to work jobs that require standing on my feet all day. I would love to get back into coding and I know some Digital Works placements have been with online gaming support, which would be great. But I’m also interested in trying new opportunities and just earning an income again.”
Kevin:
“My brother works for Apple Support and has for years. His goal has been to get me tech savvy. We would like to go into business together once I have a few years of tech experience. I had no computer skills before coming to Digital Works, but have years of customer service experience. Digital Works has given me the tech component I need to begin my new career. They also have relationships with employers who will hire people like me, who have been in prison.”
