Success Story: Amanual Bisrat

Amanual was an outstanding participant in our Mentorship & Employability Program. He consistently showed up on time, prepared, and ready to learn. He actively engaged with his peers and brought positive energy to every session. At the “Hiring Affair,” Amanual arrived fully prepared and delivered an excellent interview—so impressive that he received a job offer just days later.

These were some of Amanual’s thoughts on the program:

How would you describe the program to someone considering it?

“A place where you not only receive support in your job search, but also gain a deeper understanding of community, resilience, and the perspectives that shape the job-hunting journey.”

What’s one word or phrase that captures your experience in the program?

Intentionality: Every part of the program encouraged me to slow down, reflect, and make purposeful choices—whether in my career path, my daily habits, or the way I show up for myself and others. It wasn’t just about taking steps forward; it was about taking the right steps with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Biggest difference for you:

“It’s helped me find my voice again. I’ve reconnected with my why, understood what drives me, and reignited the passion to be the best version of myself. Living your why every day in a positive environment—and actively working on it—pushes you to fully embody it.”

How has the program changed your future or long-term goals?“It’s helped me not only clarify my career path, but also understand what I want from life—and make sure I am truly building toward that.”

Amanual’s dedication, growth, and thoughtful reflections highlight not only his personal achievements but also the lasting impact of the program on those who commit fully to it. We are proud to know and continue to work with him!
