Hi everyone I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate the Edwins family. Edwins gave me a new life ,they changed my life completely. I went from being unemployed to having multiple opportunities since the day I graduated. I scored my first position as a server asst. But doors opened up from everywhere willing to give me a chance because of the training I have from Edwin’s. I’ve worked in alot different restaurants. As of now I’m the Line cook at Urban Farmers and I really enjoy it. All the hard work and dedication paid off . Thanks Brandon for helping me get my life back
We’re so proud of you, Darwin – you deserve every opportunity!
I’m so pleased to see all these great people doing great things! Graduating from Edwins has truly empowered me as well. It’s our job to keep spreading the word and carrying on the mission, and I always make sure to send my bar guests to Edwins. Come see me at the Beer Engine in Lakewood for a pint. Cheers!
Congratulations, Ryan – we are always happy to toast your accomplishments!
