Learning Center Teacher Brenda Reagan helps Carl, who completed his Job Training position
in 2009, prepare for his Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE).

supporting community initiatives focused on workforce readiness, gladly stepped up to the massive
volunteering commitment. In their meeting last
month, CAHRA members enthusiastically filled every
slot for the Job Skills classes.
