Helping customers troubleshoot QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, he got used to hearing people say, \u201cYou saved my day!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what he didn\u2019t see coming were the many ways the new career would empower him to grow in all aspects of his life. Supported by leaders that believed in him, he soon became a team manager, then was promoted to team lead. Corey graduated with his master\u2019s degree, and eventually used what he learned to launch a new career at the University of Virginia\u2019s College at Wise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Started in 2016, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intuit.com\/possibilities\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prosperity Hub program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps communities in need by creating jobs, preparing people for jobs of the future, and equipping entrepreneurs to start and build successful businesses. As of last fall, the program had generated 2,300 jobs and $123 million of annual economic contribution to communities in need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prosperity Hubs partner with Intuit to create customer success jobs, small business success centers and educational partnerships that span the United States, Canada and Britain. Our partners, including Concentrix, Sykes Enterprises, Alorica and Sitel, support us to help create well-paying jobs that help assist Intuit customers. Customer success agents help customers get the most out of Intuit\u2019s products and services. About one-third of the jobs are permanently virtual and designed for people like those in military communities, who must often relocate, and people with varying abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Corey, finding the job at Sykes Enterprises was like finding a family. The people there and in the community accepted him as one of their own. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most rewarding of all was Corey\u2019s ability to have an impact on others, whether it was helping co-workers in their own development, or seeing new businesses come to Wise to revitalize the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re proud to help create jobs and job readiness programs in communities where they\u2019re needed most, and people are responding. They are rebuilding their towns, seeing career and economic growth, and renewing hope for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Corey took a job at Sykes Enterprises in Wise, Virginia, he wanted to do more than listen to people complain about shipping problems.
