Meet Mimi

When Mimi joined JVS’s Job Search Accelerator program, she was looking for a career that paid a living wage after experiencing a layoff. Mimi connected with the people, tools, and training she leveraged to land a position with Metropolitan Transportation Commission, a role that allowed her to rebuild her savings and buy a house in the Bay Area.

Even more than the job skills, JVS taught me how to feel good about myself again and how to find my self-confidence. It was literally life-changing.”
