After an initial introduction to our Pathways to Empowerment (P2E) program, the 21-year-old signed up for two IT training opportunities: the City of Refuge Cybersecurity program and Per Scholas’ CompTIA A+ certification. At the same time, he entered our At Promise at Work January 2026 cohort, which provides workforce training along with a stipend of $180-a week. Through these services, he is strengthening his workforce skills and expanding access to IT positions with potential earnings of $40,000–$60,000 annually early in his career. C. Berry recently notched a milestone in his journey toward financial stability: On January 30, 2026, he began a full-time job with BP Gas Company as a cashier/customer service attendant, earning $17 per hour. He expects to gain essential experience in customer relations, using this first job as a springboard toward his long-term career goals.
