Career Team’s Post

Today, we are excited to celebrate Erison, a VIP from North Central Texas! Future Hope referred Erison to our team for the WIOA Youth Program. Facing the uncertainty of aging out of the foster care system and navigating significant transportation barriers, Erison needed a sustainable path forward. Business Services Consultant Stephanie Shreiner secured a work experience opportunity for Erison at Chenevert's Home Services (Chenevert's Plumbing Repair), a worksite that he could walk to, eliminating transportation barriers. Erison’s hard work, career readiness skill development and dedicated coaching from Stephanie Shreiner, Katherine McDonald, and his supervisor, Greg Fletcher, allowed him to overcome barriers and successfully engage in the work experience opportunity. By his fourth week, Erison had built a strong track record of punctuality and reliability, which led to an On-the-Job Training (OJT) opportunity at Chenevert’s. Today, we are thrilled to share that Erison is now a full-time employee at Chenevert's Home Services, where he continues his training in plumbing and HVAC! Cheneverts is even assisting him with obtaining his driver's license and preparing him for State licensing tests to set him up for long-term success. Erison’s story is a beautiful reminder of what happens when determination meets a supportive community. Congratulations, Erison! We look forward to seeing all you achieve in the skilled trades. #CareerSuccess #WIOAYouth #HVAC #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerTeam
