#jobcorpssaveslives like those of Hotel & Lodging graduate Derrick Drawhorn, who was hired by Coca-Cola Consolidated in North Carolina. Derrick will also be attending South Carolina State University in the spring. Derrick has been living in Washington D.C. with his grandmother after having left South Carolina for a better environment. He completed the Hotel & Lodging trade and his high school diploma at the Woodland Job Corps Center and was more than happy to share his story! "School wasn't for me, it was too slow. I was not focused. I needed to leave the environment before I became another statistic. I was working at Zaxby's, playing video games and hanging out with my friends. I was getting in a lot of trouble. I was fighting and wasting my life. I was causing my mom a lot of headaches. I was mad at my dad. We didn't see eye to eye. I was lost. My aunt that lives in Washington D.C. went to Potomac Job Corps Center. She told me about it. Growing up, I lived in Myrtle Beach and I loved going to hotels. Plus, I have the personality for it. I love talking to people from different places. [My Instructor] telling me I can do it, motivating me every step of the way helped me complete my goals. She also told me there is a reason I'm here. I learned if I can push myself, I can do it. Nothing can stop me. If you want to grow up, come to Job Corps." Stories like his would not be possible without Job Corps.

#jobcorpsworks for Advanced Manufacturing graduate Raymond Millott, who earns $23 an hour at Wyman Gordon. The company designs and makes forged metal components for the aerospace industry and energy markets. Raymond enrolled at the Grafton Job Corps Center in Spring 2024 and entered the Advanced Manufacturing trade, which is offered through the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce Education Hub. His strong math skills and talent not only led to him earning the highest grade in his class but also contributed to becoming a CNC Mill Operator. The position requires an understanding of specifications and maintenance to ensure that the machine runs safely during the manufacturing process. Raymond conducted Work-Based Learning at Algonquin Industries Inc. / Hi-tech Metals Inc. in Bellingham, MA. He gained extensive operational experience with CNC Lathe and Milling Centers. Among the equipment that he worked with was the Haas Milling Center. He loaded the milling center with the current production requested parts and evaluated technical drawings and blueprints to enforce quality control. During his interview with Wyman-Gordan, Raymond said he was impressed with the size of the facility he toured, including the precision of the tools the employees used. Raymond attributes his success to Job Corps and his Advanced Manufacturing Instructor Talya Stebbins. Stories like his would not be possible without Job Corps.
