About Grant Gigot
I am a passionate and dedicated non-profit and education professional, deeply committed to workforce development projects promoting economic empowerment.My strengths include not only program development and management, but also a natural talent for client and student coaching, forming meaningful relationships and engaging communities. I have a demonstrated history of exceeding goals - in my current role at Upwardly Global, I achieved 140% of my placement target, and at Centro Romero, I developed innovative new programming and solidified community relationships to improve client transition rates from 60% to 80%. Through my 5+ years of experience, I have become proficient in a range of tools including Salesforce, Asana, and Google Suite. Driven by my unshakable passion and desire to create lasting impact, I have consistently pursued professional growth, including Google\'s Project Management certification (in progress) and an immersive Persian Language and Culture program.
