Eric enrolled in the GOALS program after becoming unemployed. He had worked as a saw operator for two years in manufacturing & left the company he was with when he believed he had a better job opportunity lined up. The new job fell through, possibly because of his criminal record. Eric completed assessments in GOALS and showed that he has number of manufacturing skills including forklift. With these assessments, he applied for a temporary placement position & was offered employment working 40 hours per week. If Eric works his 90 days with no issues/missed days, it is likely he will be hired on full time. GOALS has assisted Eric with funds for steel toe boots as well as with a bicycle as back-up transportation. He was very grateful for the GOALS program & expressed much appreciation.
