After years of working in Gaffney, William was facing a layoff and was weary about the next chapter of his life. He attended a Rapid Response Session hosted by the facility that was closing and learned about the variety of services available to him as a Dislocated Worker. He made the decision visit the SC Works Gaffney Center and talked with Yolanda; a local Talent Development Specialist housed there.
During the initial visit William was enrolled into the WIOA program and quickly completed the program requirements. He made the decision to pursue CDL training and chose to attend a local school in the Upstate.
He completed CDL training and exemplified perseverance and a strong desire to create a better life for himself! He secured employment with a company as a Truck Driver shortly after and is happy with the career change.
