Meet Samuel Jackson, a resilient individual who faced numerous challenges on his journey to success. At 29 years old and single, Samuel had experienced a long period of unemployment, struggling to find stable work due to sporadic job history, legal issues, and lacking essential skills. Living in an area of Warner Robins, characterized by low income and limited opportunities, Samuel was determined to turn his life around. When Samuel came into contact with the Middle Georgia Consortium Inc./WorkSource Middle Georgia, his interest in obtaining a commercial truck driver’s license sparked hope. Recognizing the high demand for skilled drivers in the industry, the Middle Georgia Consortium Inc. team knew this could be a life-changing opportunity for Samuel. With his willingness to relocate to explore new possibilities, the decision was made to support him in his pursuit of a commercial driver’s license. Samuel successfully completed the program and obtained his commercial driver’s license through dedication and hard work. It was a turning point in his life. Within a few weeks, his determination paid off as he secured gainful employment with Trans Am Trucking, starting on July 5, 2023. Breaking free from the barriers of long-term unemployment and seizing the chance to improve his circumstances, Samuel’s success story serves as an inspiring testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the support provided by Middle Georgia Consortium Inc./WorkSource Middle Georgia in transforming lives and opening doors to new opportunities.
