When Vicky B. joined Parc’s Life Skills Development 4 program just two months ago, she faced more than a few roadblocks. Limited transportation, difficulty navigating the job search process, and a lack of confidence made employment feel just out of reach. But what stood out most wasn’t the barriers; it was her potential.

With the consistent support of her Employment Specialists, Bianca and Anthony, Vicky began taking bold steps forward. Whether it was getting help filling out job applications, learning how to manage appointments, or practicing workplace communication, Vicky responded with determination and courage.

A turning point came the day she visited a prospective employer. With encouragement from her team, she overcame her anxiety, met the employer beforehand, and submitted her job application, all in person. She even completed her tuberculosis test, a task that once felt overwhelming. That day, Vicky didn’t just move closer to employment; she moved closer to believing in herself.
