Following the success of last year’s partnership, Gateway Vista once again teamed up with the Lighthouse TIP (Trades and Industry Pathways) program this spring, continuing its mission to empower and inspire youth through real-world career exposure in the senior living industry.
About the TIP Program
The TIP program, designed to help students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds, build skills and explore careers in fields such as nursing, culinary arts, construction, and more, has found a natural fit with Gateway Vista’s comprehensive services and team of dedicated professionals.
Over a six-week period, students participated in immersive experiences throughout Gateway Vista’s assisted living, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing care departments. They worked side-by-side with team members in departments like social services, therapy, life enrichment, culinary, and nursing, gaining valuable hands-on insight into the roles that make up a thriving senior living community.
“We were thrilled to welcome another group of TIP students this year,” said Mollie Cook, Vice President of Team Experience at Nye Health Services. “It’s exciting to see the curiosity and compassion these students bring. They not only gain job experience but also build strong connections with our residents and team members.”
“We’ve seen students light up when they realize the difference they can make in someone’s life just by showing up and caring,” said Jeremy Trujillo, Director of the Lighthouse Trades and Industry Pathways Program. “Partnerships like this give young people a vision for their future, and it’s incredibly powerful.”
At the heart of the program is the belief that early exposure and hands-on mentorship can transform lives. Residents at Gateway Vista also benefit from the students’ presence, often forming meaningful bonds and sharing life lessons that only add to the richness of the experience.

A New Approach to Employee Benefits
In today’s fast-changing workplace, employees seek more than just a paycheck—they want real support for their financial well-being, work-life balance, and personal growth. Recognizing this, Nye Health Services is proud to announce a new partnership with The Work Lab to bring a comprehensive WorkLife Coaching program to our team members and their families.
This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting every member of our team in navigating life’s challenges, achieving personal and professional growth, and building the life they want, all with the support of their workplace.
Why WorkLife Coaching Matters
Studies show that 70% of employees say work-related stress affects their personal lives, while 62% would be more loyal to a company that provides mental health and financial wellness support.
Unlike traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which are often focused on crisis support, WorkLife Coaching is proactive, ongoing, and personalized. Employees don’t have to wait for a major challenge to seek help—they can access guidance, mentorship, and real-life strategies to enhance their personal and professional well-being.
WorkLife Coach: Confidential, Accessible, and Personalized Support
A current Nye Health Services team member shares:
“Working with our new WorkLab coach has been a great experience so far. In our very first session, she helped me evaluate my expenses and set up an account on RocketMoney. Since then, I’ve started reviewing my expenses and budgeting every single day. Just last night, I even told my husband we couldn’t get Chinese takeout because we were over budget—he was shocked but impressed!
Her guidance also helped me identify ways to save, like lowering my internet bill and canceling a subscription I no longer need. We have another session scheduled to follow up on cutting unnecessary spending, and she’s even researching how I can transfer my large credit card balance to an interest-free option. I’m so grateful for her support.”
Another Nye Health team member shared:
“Having access to a WorkLife Coach has made a real difference in my stress levels. I was struggling with balancing work and my responsibilities at home, but after a few sessions, I feel more in control and focused. It’s reassuring to know I have someone to turn to for guidance.”
Our on-site WorkLife Coach provides a confidential and judgment-free space for employees to address personal and professional goals or challenges. Whether focusing on personal growth, workplace relationships, or life outside of work, our WorkLife Coaches are here to offer guidance, encouragement, and meaningful support.
Availability: Your WorkLife Coach will be available on-site at a Nye Health location one day per week from 8 am to 5 pm, and can be scheduled through various convenient methods, including phone, email, and online booking.
Key Areas of Support
The WorkLife Coach program offers services in three primary areas:
1. Coaching Conversations
Employees can work on:
- Personal goal setting
- Relationship communication
- Conflict resolution
- Empowerment and well-being
2. Financial Counseling
From budgeting and debt management to maximizing benefits, our coaches equip employees with the tools they need to reach their financial goals and achieve greater financial confidence.
3. Resource Navigation
WorkLife Coaches help employees connect with essential community and company resources, including:
- Child and elder care
- Housing
- Mental health support
- Other vital services
This ensures our employees receive the right support at the right time.
