FOOD THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES
At Forge City Works, we believe everyone deserves the chance to grow. Our job training program helps people learn new skills, build confidence, and take the next step in life.
In 2024, more than 48 people joined our Culinary and Hospitality Job Training Program. Some were looking for a fresh start. Others wanted to grow their skills and find better jobs. What they all had in common was a desire to move forward.
Savannah is a great example. When she joined the program, she was balancing work, family, and the challenges of being a young adult. She promised herself to show up each day, work hard, and be kind to herself—even when it was hard.
She had never worked in a kitchen like ours before, but she quickly found her place. Savannah learned fast, worked the line with care, and grew more confident every day. By the end of the program, she was hired to work at our restaurant.
Now, she is helping train new students. She shares her story, teaches kitchen basics, and shows others that they can succeed too.
That’s what our program is all about: helping people turn hard work into opportunity—and then watching them give back.
Thanks to supporters like you, people are finding jobs, building careers, and changing their lives. You are helping make it all possible.
