The collaboration project between Operation Breakthrough, iResQ and WISE Certification was not just a success, but an inspiration! This past week we witnessed the first graduating class of WISE Level 2 Chromebook Repair students receiving their certificates. We weren't the only ones excited about this new generation of technicians, Kansas City news station KSHB41 attended as well. Read the story here: https://lnkd.in/gExEev5u We are proud of our industry for rallying around skills training and can’t wait to see where the students end up!

CEO Tyler Nottberg talked construction this week with teens from Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City. He also watched 2-D and 3-D design demonstrations in the Ignition Lab and snapped this photo with President and CEO Mary Esselman. Tyler reflected on the event: “Operation Breakthrough has always had a special place in my heart. I spent many hours talking with and learning from Sister Berta Sailer, who founded the organization in 1971 to help children of working poor families. She inspired me to start Aligned 13 years ago, and we often found ourselves testifying next to one another in Jefferson City about the importance of access to high-quality Early Childhood Education programs. And while Sister Berta passed away in January of this year, I could see that her Vision is still very much alive and well at Operation Breakthrough!” #LeaveALegacy
