Success Stories
NPI is helping to support employers' growth strategies. We recently referred an excellent candidate to a civil engineering company that is expanding its business into the installation of geothermal energy systems. Through an OJT contract, the small business will be reimbursed 90 percent of the wage rate while the employee receives training and experience in marketing this new green technology. As a result of all the participants' efforts, the company is planning to see an increase in revenue of $250,000 this year and the generation of 10 to 15 new jobs within 5 years.
As a WEX participant, Charvonia Williams spent last summer working as the office manager for Dr. Angela Cherniawski, a chiropractor at Life Align Wellness Center. "It turned out to be a perfect fit," says Dr. Cherniawski. Charvonia worked hard and caught on quickly. In fact, Charvonia performed so well that at the end of the summer Dr. Cherniawski offered her a permanent position.
