In July of 2017, Adrian registered to participate in MND’s Maritime Transportation, Distribution and Logistics (MTDL) training program. We asked him why and he simply responded “I realize that the MTDL training is going to change my family’s future”.
Adrian was briefly out of work and was looking for a fresh start with a long-term opportunity. And he was extremely “dedicated and invested” to use his words. We couldn’t agree more. During the first week of training, his girlfriend Tanya was hospitalized, his mother was on the couch recovering from surgery, and his granddaughter was home sick with an ear infection. But Adrian was in class every day. Sadly, Tanya became increasingly ill, and during his training, lost her battle and passed away. However, Adrian never missed a day.
He found support in the staff, strength in his goal, and comfort in the fact that he was going to continue his journey and his commitment to Tanya, as she left behind three grown children and her little grandchildren, that he would now have to help take care of without her.
Upon completion of the MTDL program, and with a renewed sense of accomplishment and confidence, Adrian was quickly hired by an MND business partner. According to his supervisor and business owner, Adrian is an excellent employee, already in line for advancement.
