"The program reaffirmed everything I was starting to doubt. It reaffirmed that meaningful employment was indeed worth working that much harder for. The program provided an open & honest environment where my experiences, struggles & beliefs regarding employment were met with mutual peer understanding & relatability. It gave me a new perspective right when I needed it" - Maniba,  Fastlaners 2016
