Giovanni, an I2C participant, expressed interest in working with his hands and liking hardware stores. Soon after, he found his place at Rosedale Mills, a country store. He began his internship in March, which then led to a job offer and plans for further education! This opportunity not only provided Giovanni with a meaningful job but also boosted his confidence—something priceless. Giovanni calls Rosedale Mills his “home away from home.”
