From Job Seeker to Career Starter: Leane’s Story

At Partner4Work's previous Board Meeting, we were proud to welcome Leane Peterson—a powerful example of the impact of the Employment, Advancement and Retention Network (EARN) program.

Leane, now a Product Service Technician at ZOLL Medical Corporation, shared how the EARN program in partnership with Grant Associates helped her secure employment meaningful to her at a critical time in her life. With the dedicated support of EARN program staff she received personalized guidance and job referrals that connected her to a career opportunity offering not just stability, but growth.

Her story is a reminder of the vital role workforce programs—and the partners who bring them to life—play in helping individuals overcome barriers to employment and build brighter futures.

Thank you, Leane, for sharing your journey—and congratulations on your new role!
