When I unveiled our industrial powertrain reconditioning division, I knew that I wanted to do more than just create jobs. I really felt like I was given a blessing and my heart told me to do something more. A close friend introduced me to Kathy and Brad Lambert, the founders of Connections to Success. Connections to Success has a program called Pathways to Success. The Pathways program helps individuals with a criminal background re-enter the community and to become self reliant and sufficient, along with this program they offer a entry level training program for automotive industries.
