William doing well in Training! Oct 3, 2014
Emily, William's validator from JARC, let us know he continues to do well in the CNC Training program!
William earned his first credential in training! Oct 3, 2014
He says, "I am still continuing full time in the CNC training at JARC. I have earned my first National Institute of Metalworking Skills credential and will earn my 2nd one soon. I have never been late to my training program since I have been at JARC which I believe shows my reliability and dedication to my training and my career path."
Overview
I'm a 31 year old student at the Jane Addams Resource Corporation. I recognize the importance of a career path so I am studying to become a CNC operator.
My goals are to settle down with my fiancé and have a family. I want to be able to support my family and provide a stable and steady income for us by pursuing a career path that has advancement opportunities.
I need a few things in order to be successful as a CNC operator. I need a new pair of glasses to be able to read blueprints & computer codes accurately, clothes to go on interviews, and some precision measuring tools to keep my skills current.
Meeting this need will give the basic essentials I need to be able to pursue my goals and get a job as a CNC operator. Being able to see well and to make a good first impression at my interviews will give me the confidence necessary to be successful.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping William fund this need.
