Helping young adults build tech careers | The grief garden at Awbury Arboretum

from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

Technology is a growing field ripe with opportunities, if you know where to look. Hopeworks introduces young adults in Philadelphia and Camden, NJ to tech jobs they might not have known existed, providing training and job experience for people ages 17 to 27, and breaking down barriers to employment like housing insecurity and mental health challenges. Host Racquel Williams talks with Hopeworks CEO Dan Rhoton and a young adult, Aaron Torres, who is launching his career after going through the training program.Then, on Shara in the City, we visit the grief garden at Awbury Arboretum to hear how grief and gratitude go hand-in-hand, and how nature and animals can help you heal. Shara Dae Howard takes a walk through the garden with the Philly Goat Project and our friends at the Gift of Life Donor Program.
