Stojkoska says it’s very difficult to find a job these days, something the company Mobilize was able to do. “It makes you anxious and you want to kind of throw the towel in and (say) maybe I should just go back to school,” says Stojkoska. “Mobilize gives the experience and the opportunity to step outside the box and see what else is out there.”
