Workforce Challenge

Workforce Success Story Submitted By: Employment Services of Weld County
Anthony, a father of four, was receiving unemployment benefits but wanted to financially support himself and become a great role model for his children. With his criminal background, he was experiencing barriers to employment.

Workforce Solution

Unlikely to return to his previous employer and needing guidance and support, he came to ESWC seeking training to become a CDL-A truck driver where he was enrolled into the WIOA Dislocated Worker program. Anthony completed skill assessments to determine if his interest and aptitudes aligned with his career path. It was suggested that Anthony complete the OSHA training to gain the necessary knowledge and safety skills needed within a wide array of occupations. Anthony also attended the Resume and the Helping Offenders Pursue Employment (HOPE) workshops. 

Outcomes & Benefits

He was provided with gas vouchers to get back and forth to training and was able to complete his CDL-A training with United States Truck Driving School, INC. in February 2021, passing at the top of his class. In March 2021, Anthony obtained employment with Groendyke Transportation.
