There were many reasons why I wanted an opportunity to join the job training program at Deseret Industries. Two reasons were that I needed the financial support from working at DI and I needed to improve my English so I could find a good paying job. My job coach at DI worked with me to create a plan that would help me.

English was my biggest challenge. I knew I would need to speak better to get a better job. I took the time to practice my English with the other associates and customers, as well as to carefully listen to my job coach and manager. They all helped me improve my English skills as I learned how to provide good customer service.

I now have my own business selling pallets. I am more confident speaking English and I offer great customer service. My English continues to improve and so does my confidence as I interact with others. I love the new skills I learned from my training at DI. I am also grateful for being able to learn how to succeed in my new career.

I would recommend Deseret Industries to anyone seeking help. I am grateful for my experience and the training I received so I can provide for my children and give them a better future.
