The Sound of a New Beginning
In the heart of the ActivateWork office hangs a ship’s bell. Every time a learner gets hired, their career coach rings it—and the whole team pauses to celebrate. It doesn’t matter what meeting you’re in or what deadline you’re working against—when the bell rings, we stand up and cheer. Because that sound means someone’s life just changed—for the better, and for good.
For us, it’s more than a tradition. It’s a reminder of why we’re here: to walk alongside people on their path to something better. Each ring marks a new beginning—for the learner, their family, and their future. It marks the moment when potential becomes opportunity, and effort turns into lasting impact. It’s the sound of hard work paying off—and a future taking shape.
