Clarence from Chicago, IL

Training for a manufacturing career. Work gear will enable me to start my job!

Steel-toed boots, some essential tools, & a back brace will help me safely start my job and build a stable foundation for myself.

Overview

My name is Clarence, and I am a 37-year-old male starting from ground zero here at Jane Addams Resource Corporation (JARC). I have a second chance to reinvent myself, and their press brake program is the perfect catalyst. I’m incredibly motivated and excited about what my future will be with the help of JARC.

My goal is to complete the press brake training at JARC and focus on getting hired as a press brake machine operator with a company in need of my skills. I look forward to learning as much as I can and becoming an asset in the manufacturing field.

In order to reach my goal, I need assistance in acquiring the tools required to perform my work, like steel-toed boots, digital caliper and micrometer, a steel protractor set, and a back brace.

Meeting this need will help me because I’m trying to build a solid foundation for myself, find work, and turn my instability into stability. I want to thank everyone who views this site to help others, and I appreciate any support in making my dream of becoming self-sufficient in life and becoming a productive citizen.
