What’s the Point? https://jobpoint.podbean.com A podcast from Job Point, designed to give those we serve the space to share their stories, ambitions, dreams and more. At Job Point, we help connect people throughout mid-Missouri with education and employment opportunities - but for all of us here at Job Point – the work we do is so much bigger than just helping someone find a job or continue their education so they can get a better job. We want to empower our neighbors to overcome the barriers they face, give them the tools to break out of the cycle of poverty, and live a life fulfilled. Because that’s the point - it’s about finding work you love that empowers you to live a life you love.
