Talk about keeping it all in the family! Hopeworks is dedicated to helping young professionals gain new skills, secure living wage jobs, and create generational wealth. There’s no better example of that than this story. Sisters Courtney and Aniya were recently both offered incredible job opportunities with New Jersey American Water and The Camden City School District.
Aniya has always been passionate about her goal to educate and her ultimate dream is to become a special education teacher. With this new job position, she is well on her way!
“I’m super excited about my new career and chapter in life. This has been a journey for me to figure out my purpose in life and I can finally say inspiring children and giving back to them is my number one goal.”
Courtney is also excited about her new journey. She recognizes that past obstacles and determination have brought her to this point.
“This job solidifies all the hard work and determination I’ve had for the past two years. There have been a lot of tears, failures and positive experiences to help me be where I am today. I am extremely grateful and blessed to see where life will take me.”
Courtney will work as an Operations Specialist in the administrative department doing permit requests, coordinating, budgeting scheduling, and more. Her job is to make sure that New Jersey American Water has all the supplies, parts and policies in order to help with the road work on water mains and pipes lines on construction sites.
Good luck Courtney and Aniya!
