Because I lacked essential training or education, I couldn’t improve my employment situation. I needed to do more than just exist. A referral from a caring bishop to receive training at the Deseret Industries gave me the much needed opportunity I longed for.

Deseret Industries not only offered me help in finding a new career but hope for the future. My job coaches and development counselor were positive and encouraging. They helped me search for a technical training program that would be the best fit for me and my family. Repeatedly, they proved to me that there are people who care and are willing to help. I also learned that you have to do more than stand around waiting for something to happen.

I am humbled by those who worked in my behalf to make life for my family and me better. With their help, I enrolled in a CDL training program funded in part by Deseret Industries. The result is a new job in a career with promise.

Because of Deseret Industries, the steps are in place for a good future as I work hard and do my part. I’m happier and more positive. I’m thankful for the blessings that the Lord has given me by being at Deseret Industries.
