Since its launch several years ago, the program has provided 16 recent graduates with real-world experience in case management or other areas of COA’s operations.
“I am so honored to be part of the third Emerging Professionals class here at COA! I could not imagine a better fit for myself post-graduation. There are so many opportunities to get involved and such supportive mentors. I cannot wait to continue learning more about COA and the population we serve,” Eiser said.
More information about the program is available here.
