17-year-old PROMISE student Ajanae has been wanting to work since she was 14 years old. Ajanae is extremely motivated. Promise Community Employment Specialist Kandese McCullough has been mentoring her and has helped Ajanae build her resume and make connections in her community. Ajanae is now working at Five Below through a PROMISE-sponsored paid work experience which could lead to Five Below directly hiring her in the future. Kandese and Ajanae have done a lot of work leading up to this point of working in the real world.
