After nearly eight years as a manufacturing engineer, Justin, a disabled veteran, experienced an unexpected layoff. While searching for his next opportunity, he faced the challenge of finding a position that would utilize his skills and experience while allowing him to attend weekly VA appointments. This left him struggling to balance the need to return to work with his ongoing care needs.

At the Workforce Center, Justin received personalized guidance on navigating his job search, focusing on his qualifications and experience in interviews, and discussing scheduling needs with potential employers.

After several interviews, Justin successfully secured a position as a Production Manager with Pella Doors and Windows, earning $60,000/year with benefits and opportunities for career advancement. Justin is excited to begin a rewarding new chapter in his career with an employer that values his technical expertise and leadership experience and can accommodate his scheduling needs.
