Branden

Transition to Work

Training Alliance Group has been nothing short of spectacular in my person experience. They have helped me get the tickets I need for the job I want. After a year with TAG – I’m now working for a construction company and studying towards my forklift ticket so I can get into warehousing and logistics. I could not have imagined how much both my work and personal life could change. Absolutely amazing.

Hayley

Transition to Work

I was anxious about starting university and doubted I could get into a top school like Notre Dame. But with the support from my career advocate, Sarah, from Transition to Work – TAG, I felt fully supported. She was open and trustworthy, guiding me through the application process and boosting my confidence to pursue nursing—a passion inspired by my family’s medical history. Now, I’m six weeks into my degree.
