"St. Francis is excited to partner with NOVA as a means to support our organization, our mission, and our community. NOVA provides a unique ability to enhance the abilities and skills of individuals that are needed for them to secure stable employment and economic independence. They have been helpful in connecting our workforce needs to those individuals which allow St. Francis as an organization to provide for our patients and community."
Debbie Horstmann

"As an employer who has been in the paper and plastic industries for some 40+ years. I, along with many other employers, have been concerned about the lack of a skilled workforce in the area of manufacturing in our community. NOVA is an organization that has made great strides in taking individuals who for whatever reason have taken the wrong path in life and need someone to give them guidance and vision in becoming a contributing source in the general workplace."

President Euroboard Inc.
"As one of Monroe’s larger employers planning to grow locally, CenturyLink recognizes the importance of cultivating a qualified workforce. This is why we support NOVA in its mission to not only prepare individuals in our community for living wage jobs but to also help them secure employment. NOVA is driving economic development and the services it provides are beneficial not only to businesses and individuals but to the entire region.”
