Michael’s and Luisa’s goal is to pursue work in agriculture.
Michael and Luisa came to Fedcap earlier this year. They told staff that they were in a transition period and needed help since Michael had lost his job and did not qualify for unemployment. They told staff that they wanted to be homesteaders and sell products they make and grow, but they knew they would need income to help finance their goal. While meeting with staff, Michael and Luisa asked about different job openings in the area. Michael applied and was quickly hired at an area deli and the staff provided resources to aid him with the commute to work. Luisa is currently completing career development classes and working with staff to plan her next steps. Michael reported that he enjoys his new job and is learning a lot about what it takes to run a business.
