Testimonials
“Working with CWEE gave me a whole new perspective and motivation.
I am now really excited to see what the future holds and how far I can advance.”
- Caressa
"Since I began working with CWEE, I have been able to find childcare for my children, renew my driver's license and pass my insurance agent state exam. Accomplishing all of these goals means I can move forward with my employment opportunities and return to work, where I can earn a reliable income for my family and no longer need state assistance."
- Robert
“CWEE made it possible for me to connect with internships, including one with the State of Colorado. CWEE made sure I had the proper supports in place – such as reliable childcare and transportation – so I could get the most out of my experience. A couple weeks into my internship, a position was created for me and I was hired as an Administrative Assistant. Since then, I have had 5 promotions.”
