Justin came to MND in October 2017. He was a stay at home Dad, forced to make that choice after both of his in-laws had passed away. Although his wife had a higher paying job, they now struggled with just one income. His bills were piling up when he saw our sign and stopped in to learn more. Within a day, Justin was registered for our Maritime Transportation, Distribution and Logistics training program.
Justin attended training and completed the program. This wasn’t an easy task as during this time, as he was also getting kids to daycare each morning, making sure he had a suit to wear, worrying about bills, and discovering his youngest child was autistic. Although this brought on a new set of challenges for the family, Justin communicated with his Job Coach and together, they lined up resources not only for his employment, but for his family.
Justin says one of his proudest moments came when his little boy realized, and commented, that Daddy was wearing a suit. His son was PROUD and he knew at that moment he just had to succeed!
Currently, Justin is gainfully employed and is also planning to further his credentials to ensure job growth and long-term stability.
