I truly enjoy going to work every day because there is endless inspiring content to work with.

The greatest benefit of the reacHIRE program was that it gave me a chance to explain my capabilities to a company without having to explain my career break.

I plan to continue to grow in my career and am fortunate to work for a company that encourages employees to explore any opportunities that are of interest.

There are two very important things I think all returners should know: 1. Take advantage of your return-to-work experience and 2. Keep a positive attitude and open mind.

It can feel scary to make the change back into the workforce. But if it’s something you want, you deserve the chance to spend time and energy on your own development.

I knew I wanted to return eventually, but was not sure exactly when. I valued both my professional career and financial independence too much to stay at home permanently.

"What I appreciated most about reacHIRE – aside from the support and the friendships – was that I didn’t have to figure it all out on my own. Their connections and expertise made the journey so much smoother."

I am forever grateful for this second chance at a career; this program was life changing!
