Then, with the help of Staffing Kansas City, everything changed. In Lillian’s words:
“I am so excited for my long-term future with this employer and forever grateful to the staffing industry for making this happen, without whom I’d be quite lost in a brand-new city! Thank you, Staffing KC!”
We would also like to congratulate Heidy for winning the 2026 Scholarship Award!
Heidy and her husband moved from Iowa to Kansas City to assist a family member. Like many people starting over in a new city, she was anxious about finding stable employment.
Through the staffing industry, Heidy found more than just a job. In an excerpt from her scholarship application, she shared:
“They placed me with a company whose mission closely reflects the reason we moved: helping older adults and their families. Instead of simply finding me a job, they connected me with meaningful work where I feel valued every day.”
Heidy’s goal is to pursue education in the freight brokerage industry and build a future career in this growing and evolving field.
Congratulations, Heidy! We are proud to support your educational goals and wish you continued success in your career and new life in Kansas City!
We would also like to congratulate Brittany for winning the 2026 Scholarship Award!
Brittany came to Staffing Kansas City through a referral from one of our other amazing employees—a great example of the power of networking! We are incredibly grateful for every referral and even more grateful to have Brittany on our team. Brittany has been an integral part of several of our contract projects and has consistently received glowing reviews for her hard work, flexibility, and willingness to jump in wherever she is needed.
Her next goal is to continue her education while working toward her teaching certification. We love her passion for growth and her desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
Brittany shared some wonderful insight about what the staffing industry has meant to her:
“This is exactly how the staffing industry has impacted my life—by meeting me where I was, and helping me grow into who I am today.
The staffing industry has supported me at every stage of my journey. They helped me turn a setback into a comeback and I’ll always recommend staffing agencies to anyone who’s always chasing something more.”
We couldn’t be happier to support Brittany as she pursues her teaching career. Congratulations, Brittany, and good luck on your journey toward becoming a teacher!
