Sole Breadwinner Finds Support

As the sole provider for his household of four, Michael alone shouldered financial responsibilities for his family. While he eked out a living working at FedEx and supplementing his income with government assistance, he was determined to start a career that gave his loved ones the stability and quality of life that they deserved.

When Michael approached Goodwill, he had a clear goal to work as an electrical lineman at NV Energy. But achieving this dream required completing multiple certifications, including a commercial driver’s license (CDL), OSHA training, and a WorkKeys certificate. For Michael, the cost of earning these certifications was prohibitively expensive, but a Goodwill career coach found a way to get the costs for all three training programs fully covered.

Michael quickly enrolled in CDL training and looked forward to completing the rest of his certifications. He is grateful for Goodwill’s support, which will allow him to secure a dream job at NV Energy and a bright future for his family.”

Goodwill helped Michael secure his family’s future.
