Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another installment of Your Path. Your Purpose., a special series from The Dignity of Work podcast. In this episode, we hear from Mariia Yanchak, a Career Path Services team member whose journey from Ukraine to the United States reveals the power of resilience and belonging. Mariia shares how arriving during a time of displacement led her to discover Career Path Services, turning what felt like a miracle job opportunity into a calling to serve others. With lived experience as an immigrant and a background supporting refugees, she brings deep empathy to her work—helping clients rebuild, learn new skills, and find hope through employment. From celebrating small victories, like a client learning English or earning a driver's license, to affirming the dignity inherent in every kind of labor, Mariia's story highlights how compassion, fairness, and respect can transform both lives and communities.
