For the men and women that we serve, one of the key components to their success is the ability to develop a sustainable career that allows them to support themselves and their loved ones. One of the ways that HFP is able to assist each client with a start to earning a livable wage is to provide them with the opportunity to complete vocational training and develop skills that will translate into employment.
EMPOWERING SUCCESS
HFP’s Vocational Training Program for Sustainable Careers
EDDIE LOYA
A Key Player in HFP’s Success
Eddie Loya is a special part of the HFP story. With over 30 years of experience in helping formerly incarcerated individuals to seek and obtain work, we were privileged to know and learn from Eddie very early on as HFP we were just starting to build the HFP organization. It was Eddie who helped HFP to develop lasting relationships with some of our very first second chance employers and served as the liaison between HFP and the State of Nevada, Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation during his many years in state government. Prior to his retirement in 2019, HFP was blessed to have him on staff as our lead Workforce Development Specialist for several years. It is not a stretch to say that without Eddie Loya and his early belief in the HFP program, we may not have experienced the successful outcomes that we have today.
EDDIE LOYA
The Champion of Second Chances for the Incarcerated
With his tremendous heart to serve, Eddie’s lifelong dedication and experience in assisting incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people with vocational training and employment is truly remarkable. Through his expertise and guidance, countless men and women have been able to capitalize on their second chance and have been given the opportunity and the tools to build a better future for themselves.
EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL PURSUITS
Eddie Loya Scholarship Fund
In recognition of the impact of his work, the Eddie Loya Scholarship fund has been established to support the educational and vocational pursuits of our clients who are fighting for their second chance. This fund not only reflects Eddie’s unwavering belief in the power of education and training, but also his drive to empower others to live a changed life that benefits everyone around them.
The average cost for HFP to provide vocational training for one client is $7,500. Will you consider contributing a scholarship for one or more HFP clients? Your gift of any amount will help to provide certified training in career fields such as Welding, Culinary Arts, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Commercial Driver’s License, Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics, Medical Billing/Coding and much more.
