Career Pathways

Connecting People to Purpose.

Career Pathways is a social enterprise program from Fresno Mission, which is designed to bridge the gap between people seeking meaningful employment and businesses needing reliable, skilled workers. What began as a career services initiative for program participants has grown into a community-wide resource, empowering individuals and building connections that transform lives.
