Voices for Opportunity: Eckerd Connects Leaders Take Job Corps to Capitol Hill
Eight Job Corps Center Directors and key staff—including Business & Community Liaisons James Davis and Rachel Pettiford—recently led 43 meetings with members of Congress, powerfully advocating for the impact of Job Corps across the nation.
Their message was simple and strong: We are training Americans for American jobs with American employers. The message landed—and follow-ups are in motion.
Leaders like Rich Semancik, Thomas Rainey, Ryan Salzar and Trish Jones also joined the charge, sharing how Eckerd Connects is transforming lives through workforce development and child and family services.
