Meet Charlie: WSC's Director of Pawsitivity

Karen from 4Pawz Strong poses with WSC's therapy dog, Charlie, in front of Work Skills Corporation's Summit office.

Work Skills Corporation is thrilled to introduce Charlie, our newest team member and therapy dog in training! 

Charlie was generously donated to WSC by 4 Pawz Strong, a nonprofit organization that provides service and therapy dogs to enhance the lives of individuals and organizations in our community. 

Charlie is currently training under the guidance of Kelly from Dog Tech U, whose expertise and compassionate approach are helping Charlie build the skills she’ll need to become a certified therapy dog. 

With Kelly’s support, Charlie is learning how to provide comfort, reduce stress, and bring joy to the individuals we serve every day.

From greeting staff and participants to joining therapy sessions, Charlie has already made a big impact at WSC. 

Her calm, friendly personality brightens every room she enters and aligns beautifully with our mission of creating inclusive, supportive environments where everyone can thrive. 

Once her training is complete, Charlie will play an active role in programs across WSC— bringing connection, encouragement, and a wagging tail wherever she goes. 

We are deeply grateful to 4 Pawz Strong for this incredible gift and to Kelly at Dog Tech U for helping Charlie reach her full potential. We can’t wait to see all the lives she touches along the way!
