Mitsubishi Mentoring Day
	Chase Pickle, Zac Slusser, Jordan McCollough, and Teresa Kelley are the clients that went to Mitsubishi Mentoring Day. The most valuable opportunity for our clients was the “hands on” experience. It opened their eyes to other possibilities that may be out there for them. It showed them that they were capable of more than just what they have experienced in the work world in the past. Mitsubishi also gave them a big boost to their morale
Another equally valuable piece about Mitsubishi Mentoring Day was having the opportunity for our clients to connect with the Mitsubishi staff and to see all the genuine interactions they initiated with us. I was really impressed with how interested in Project Independence, our mission and our people, the Mitsubishi staff were. I think we all learned a lot that day.
