Creating Opportunities for Recovery - Marshall Health's CORE
In this episode of In Your Business, we sit down with Ashley Payne, Director of Marshall Health’s CORE Initiative (Creating Opportunities for Recovery Employment). CORE is a groundbreaking program aimed at helping individuals in recovery find meaningful career paths, not just jobs, as they rebuild their lives. Covering 16 counties in southwestern West Virginia, CORE focuses on addressing critical challenges in employment and recovery, providing job training and placement services, and leveraging social enterprise development to create new opportunities.
Join us as we explore how CORE is partnering with local businesses, supporting coal-impacted communities, and making a real difference in the lives of those seeking stability through employment.
