SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The love of basketball and competition became a career opportunity for local youth Saturday night.
Nonprofit, Follow My Steps, hosted the second day of its annual “Shooting for Success” in Springfield. The event combines basketball with career readiness. Besides a chance for some friendly competition with their peers, youth were able to network with local vendors about job opportunities.
A member of Follow My Steps told 22News that the event will help expose them to the workforce.
“It definitely is important because part of our organization is to help youth mentor and bring them to see the limelight about their career and what they want to achieve in their future,” said Hubert Thevenin, Chief Financial Officer for Follow My Steps.
