“I’d been working as a summer maintenance guy at our local pool. Interapt Skills has been a complete blessing. Never did I think I could be developing programs and software for a company that makes apps for people all around the world.”

“Before the program I was unemployed. My husband had lost his job and we had to sell our home and move to Pikeville to live with his family. We were really concerned that we weren’t going to be able to get back on our feet. My husband wasn’t able to find a job and I wasn’t able to find anything up until the program. Now, I make enough money where we just signed a lease on an apartment.  We are getting out of our in-laws home. And, we are able to get back on our feet and give our kids what they need and they deserve, and try to make things a little better.”

“The Interapt Skills program has been a great opportunity to learn something I never thought I would have the ability to learn–not because of lack of ability or anything like that, because we are all smart here, but lack of opportunity. We live in Eastern Kentucky.  McLaughlin County is where I’m from, which has the highest unemployment rate in the state at 17%.  So, you never expect that kind of thing to come here.”

“The Interapt Skills program gave me the tools I needed to work in the tech field in Eastern Kentucky that I didn’t have before. Without this program I wouldn’t have been able to get this type of position that I have in this type of environment that we live in.”
