Explore a new career path with Elmwood!
“Being in human services is cool because, in essence, you are paid to be human. Paid to explore the commonalities of the human condition. Paid to discover the incredible diversity of the human spirit. Paid to spend your day doing something that matters, something that makes a difference, something that you can be proud of. Done right, you have chosen both a job and a passion, both a passion and a mission, both a mission and a purpose.
There are those who spend their lives looking for purpose.
You will rise to it each morning.
And that is a hell of a way to start the day. “
– Dave Hingsburger, Open Future Learning
