I have a college degree, but as a new immigrant, I was unfamiliar with the work environment in the United States. In counseling with my bishop, he recommended I participate in the training program offered through Deseret Industries. He felt that DI would help me develop the goals and skills I needed to achieve long-term employment.

I found Deseret Industries to be a place where I felt safe, and a place where I could achieve the confidence I lacked. Under the direction of my job coach and my mentor, I developed a plan and was given specific assignments to encourage my progress. Through the DI program, I learned basic business procedures and gained valuable experience.

Hard work pays off. The training and experience I received at Deseret Industries brought me to a full time job working in a school, doing what I love. Thank you, Deseret Industries.
