Meet Andrew

Andrew was a close to retiring military professional seeking a meaningful next chapter and a way to reconnect with home life. As a registered Career Bridge, our program was the perfect opportunity for him to explore ways to put his tool collection and time to good use.

During the program he gained new skills and passions that led him to receive job offers on the spot at our hiring fair on the last day of class. He has worked as a lead carpenter with Advanced Restoration and Environmental Services and progressed to management positions with distribution companies.

“I would recommend this program to anyone who’s unsure about their next step after the Army,” he said. “You don’t have to stay in construction, but this gives you a place to start. Sometimes taking that first step is all you need to build momentum and figure out what you’re really passionate about.”
