Simuel was referred to Workforce Services by his mother who had successfully completed her GED through the youth program at the Learning and Skills Center years ago. Simuel had been forced to drop from High school in order to help provide for his family (Mom and 2 younger siblings). When he came to the CYF program, Simuel was working two jobs to contribute to his families support. He attended evening classes that allowed him to maintain his employment. It took Simuel slightly over a year to obtain his GED. He is now employed at Amazon but continues to work with his case manager to develop career goals in hopes of continuing his education. Simuel has also been meeting with the Navy recruiter to discuss possible enlistment.
