Congratulations to the HOPEworks 347 cohort!
August 7, 2025 (Downtown Brooklyn) – Our client, The HOPE Program held a recognition ceremony at their 1 Smith Street location to celebrate the participants’ completion of the 7-week job training program.
HOPEworks builds transferable, essential skills like digital literacy, introductory math, financial planning, communication and conflict management, resume building and job application support, as well as interview preparation.
In her remarks to the cohort, HOPE’s Executive Director, Tracey Capers said to the cohort, “ I do this work because you are a reflection of me. I’m standing here today because I had a village of people supporting me and I was able to draw on that to help me move along in my journey. You can consider HOPE as your village.”
