Jhon - New Beginnings

Jhon arrived in the United States from Colombia with his wife, who was pregnant at the time, and their three children, fleeing violence and seeking a better future.

Jhon came across a Facebook post that introduced him to the Centro de los Trabajadores. He reached out and was welcomed through the “Bienvenidos a Denver”

He learned about the WorkReady program, led by del Centro de los Trabajadores, and joined immediately and completed culinary training through MSU.

Through Job fairs, interview practice, and ongoing support from El Centro Jhon landed a job at a restaurant in Denver.

“They gave me one of the biggest sources of support I’ve had in this country. They helped me find my job, gain stability, and believe in myself again.”
