Hire people who have done the hard work.
Join the Momentum Business Network.
Local employers gain a pipeline of dedicated graduates who completed Momentum’s rigorous 6-week transformation program — ready to show up and deliver for your team.
We speak the language of business.
By partnering with One City, local employers gain access to a pipeline of dedicated individuals who have completed our rigorous emotional boot camp.
We don’t position ourselves as saviors; we mine existing talent in the Cedar Valley. When you hire a Momentum graduate, you are hiring a returned citizen or community member who has done the hard work of transformation and is ready to deliver for your bottom line.
"Employment is the outcome, transformation is the goal."
Strong ROI
Reduced turnover through reliable, prepared talent who already practiced showing up.
Loyal workforce
Graduates are trained in the workplace traits employers actually need — not just a résumé.
Job-ready habits
100 hours in class and 100 hours volunteering before they ever walk onto your floor.
Cedar Valley talent
You are hiring neighbors who want lasting work here — not a revolving door of unprepared applicants.
