Jaymel came into the WIOA Opportunity Youth program as a high school graduate looking for employment and training opportunities. He came in with work experience, but wanted to find a career opportunity that would allow him to grow and increase wage. After reviewing the different training opportunities, he decided on Commercial Driver License (CDL) training. Jaymel successfully completed the training with support from his Career Planner during training. He first attained his CDL permit and then his license by passing the road exam. By using the job leads provided by the training provider, Jaymel found a position as a semi-truck driver for Superior Health Linens and later attained a job with JB Hunt where he continues to be employed. He has completed follow-up services through the program and continues to be employed as a driver.
“The program changed my life around.” Jaymel says, “I went from having a regular-time job to having a long-term stable career that I can support myself and my future family... I recommend this program to everyone especially those who struggle to make a living and would want to get into the field of their desires.”
