WISCONSIN — A Wisconsin non-profit with a goal of helping people find jobs is making a big impact on veterans across the U.S.
Onward and Upward is a non profit with Prosperity Pathways. It’s an employment alternative to those facing homelessness and joblessness. It’s been around since 2015 and a large number of its clients are veterans.
It’s a program that brings veterans in, helps them seek, apply, and get a job working from home.
“We do it in a way that no one else is teaching. We would do the seeking finding and applying and then they would get the job. In fact 93% of the people who I work with on these three phases get interviews,” Onward and Upward CEO, Anna Maria Bliven says.
