That's when a friend recommended E&ES. "My friend was already enrolled in the program, and he was doing great!", Donald recalls conversations with his long-time friend about the training opportunities, job placement, and hands-on training available at E&ES. "When he gave me his Career Coach's number, I called the same day and began the enrollment process right away".
There were some hiccups initially. Enrolling in driving school took more effort than Donald expected. For starters, he needed to take extra steps to clear his driving record so that he would be accepted into CDL training. Next, enrolling in WIOA-funded training at E&ES meant doing background research on the industry, job prospects, earning potential, and training providers. He wasn't expecting to research his career field, but he was pleasantly surprised that he did.
Researching transportation, distribution, and logistics gave him insight into the industry and the skills he would need to succeed in it. He also learned about the different training providers available and how to choose the right one for his needs. With his Career Coach's help, he navigated through the enrollment process and started his training. Nichol walked him through every step of the process and kept in contact with him.
