re: Imagine getting seven raises in less than two years

There are entry level positions that have a series of “skills” or milestones you have to meet to gain a very small pay increase but in a short amount of time. The goal is to get an entry level employee up to a higher entry wage but only after they take steps to invest in their employment. There are also grants and partnerships with some state departments aimed at hiring an unemployed person and offering the, skill training while increasing their entry level wages.
