Shawna Yalte
Program Facilitator
Shawna Yalte Bio
I have always felt compelled to work with marginalized people- I believe that to really help others reach their full potential you must walk beside them not in front of them.
When we can remove the barriers between our candidates and employment we can open up opportunities for people who otherwise become lost in the process.

Landon Sweet Bio
I love the opportunity to work with folks who are looking for employment, even though the odds are unfairly stacked against them in such a hyper-competitive and uncertain market. I also enjoy the time spent with folks in self-discovery, learning new things about themselves and getting a better idea of what types of careers can make them feel fulfilled! I think as we undergo a cultural and generational shift in the years to come the work that CAES is doing will be seen as integral to our community: past, present, and future. We can make change and even the odds together!
