FEATURED DONOR

Citizens Bank Foundation

Recognizing the WorkPlace’s continued commitment to addressing community needs, Citizens Bank Foundation has provided support for the Health Career Academy.   

The Health Career Academy Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Career Path program directly addresses barriers to social equity that women face during a search for employment.  

The Academy provides occupational training, work readiness, and additional support to individuals seeking to begin or advance a career in healthcare. Training leads to a certificate or degree and prepares participants to pass a state or national licensing exam.

The Academy also helps individuals overcome barriers to their success by providing Career Support Services such as assistance with childcare and transportation while in training, assistance with immunizations or other medical needs for training/employment, and access to work-appropriate clothing, all available at no cost. 

In the Health Care Academy and all programs of The WorkPlace we strive to advance diversity and social equity in the communities we serve and are fortunate to partner with like-minded donors such as Citizens who support these goals as well. 

MAKING AN IMPACT

Comcast

The WorkPlace is grateful to be a recipient of funding from Comcast’s Project UP, a $1 billion nationwide commitment to advance digital equity through programs and community partnerships that connect people to the Internet and advance economic mobility.  The WorkPlace’s $20,000 grant from Comcast supports MaturityWorks, a Senior Community Service Employment Program run by The WorkPlace on behalf of HireAbility Vermont. The funds were used to purchase laptops for low-income Vermont residents, age 55 and older, who will use the technology to expand their job skills and re-enter the workforce.

The funds were used to purchase laptops for low-income Vermont residents, age 55 and older, who will use the technology to expand their job skills and re-enter the workforce. By accessing the Internet, these job seekers can participate in online training, attend virtual job coaching sessions, and explore new career opportunities.

As a state with one of the oldest populations in the country, MaturityWorks is making a difference in the lives of these residents, offering training options that do not rely on in-person programming and job counseling, including those in remote rural areas. Understanding technology is an essential component in returning to work and enjoying renewed economic security, so the impact of Comcast’s generosity is nothing less than life-changing for these Vermonters.
