Featured Project

Laura Baylis- Motherwell PE

This training was organized by Jason Every. He and Paul Hesman visit and work in Motherwell Township twice a week. They saw the need to have business training added to the skills taught to the people in that area. Most of the people who came to the training are new to them and haven’t been to other types of training they have given before so this seems to have extended the reach of the work they are doing in the area.
