Meet Yvonne Styres-Thomas 👋🏼⠀ ⠀ Yvonne i

Meet Yvonne Styres-Thomas 👋🏼⠀
⠀
Yvonne is a 31-year-old mother currently employed full-time with @sn_dev_corp in the tourism department at @chiefswood_park!⠀
⠀
In her early years, Yvonne struggled to find full-time employment. With no reliable transportation at the time, securing a job locally was challenging. Due to this, she decided to pack up and move to Niagara Falls, where she secured a well-paying job as a full-time server in the hospitality industry.⠀
⠀
Upon moving back to Six Nations, serving in a more remote area made it challenging to earn the same income she needed to support her daughter. This eventually led Yvonne to the realization that she wanted to find a new career path. To start, she knew she enjoyed networking with people and working in a fast-paced environment. She noticed the new cabins going up at Chiefswood Park, which piqued her interest in exploring the tourism industry.⠀
⠀
Yvonne was already considering going back to school when she saw the Youth Job Connection Program (YJC) ad in the local paper. What particularly interested her was that she could earn an income while completing the six-week training program. This meant she would still be able to provide for her daughter while attaining her employment goals.⠀
⠀
“They got me certificates while I was in the program, so that was great. I think I got four different certificates while I was doing YJC. Also, just the fact that they were able to outreach for me too because I didn’t even know where to start, so the job searches helped.” She continued, “They even came with me to the job interview!"⠀
