Redmond-based Hopelink is getting a boost from The Boeing Company’s $60,000 grant to its Employment Program, which helps Hopelink clients increase their job skills and employability. The Hopelink Employment Program plays a key role in helping people get back on their feet by providing skills, contacts and support as clients prepare for and work toward their short- and long-term career goals. The program offers both one-on-one assistance with career development and a weekly workshop series for job-readiness skills.

“Boeing is pleased to support Hopelink’s work to help individuals reach their employment goals,” said Liz Warman, director of Global Corporate Citizenship for the Northwest region. “Hopelink has seen increased demand for its employment services in recent years, and we are excited that this grant will allow them to help more families in need in our community.”

The grant to Hopelink was made possible through Boeing’s Global Corporate Citizenship (GCC) organization. GCC refers to the work that Boeing does in its diverse communities, both as a company and individuals.
