“The WEI Program is giving people the opportunity to change their lives. Before, it felt like I was at a standstill, just going job to job. No new experiences, just you know: go to work. There was nothing exciting about it, no way to advance in my job. But now, I feel that I can move up if that’s my choice. It has given me a different perspective on what I can do for my family. I can provide better. I can give more. I can take us to newer heights. It gives some security to know I can now take my family to a place where we’ve never been.” –Jametris Johnson ’23 Workforce Equity Initiative alum of the Commercial Drivers License program and Local-Regional Truck Driver for Dot Transportation, Inc.
