Helping Future Professionals Take the Next Step Forward
The Growth Project of the Quad Cities supports teens and young adults as they transition into the workforce by providing job placements, professional development classes, and ongoing mentorship.
Why We're Here
Some future professionals face barriers that make the transition into the workplace more difficult, such as limited support systems, few role models, and a lack of job readiness skills. The Growth Project of the QC was created to bridge the gap and walk alongside them as they take their next steps.
