Staff Highlight

2026 SEPT My Osborne 16x9

“NeOn works made me more focused and pushed me to take life a little more seriously. It taught me to be more disciplined and focus on being the best version of myself. I really appreciated the workshops on interviewing, resumé building and financial literacy, as well as the resources they continue to send me. Aneta and Robert have helped me grow a lot. I’m very thankful for that.”

Ivan, participant in NeOn Works, which offers career, education and employment support to young adults
