Success Story #1
Success Story

Meet Ricky

When Ricky came to the Rancho Dominguez AJCC in Los Angeles County, LA, operated by KRA Corporation, he brought determination but also questions about how to take his next step. Our team worked with him to build confidence, prepare for interviews, and connect with Randstad for a role on the warehouse production team. Ricky showed up ready, interviewed, and earned an offer that same day. Our staff made sure he had the boots and uniform he needed to start equipped for success. Our team will stay alongside him, offering guidance and encouragement as he builds toward his goals.

Meet Majesty

We first met Majesty Goodlow when she joined our Youth and job training programs with a simple goal: to create a better future for herself and her family. She came to us as a young mother navigating limited opportunities, but with determination and drive that set her apart. Through career coaching, paid work experience, and consistent support, Majesty built her confidence, developed new skills, and began to see a different path forward. Today, she is our Office Receptionist at the Rancho Dominguez AJCC in LA County, LA, operated by KRA Corporation.
