Krzysztof
Krzysztof (Chris) was laid off after 14 years with his company, and came to Workforce Services Division of Will County for training assistance through the Trade program. Holding several technical roles throughout his many years of employment, he always felt that his options were limited due to his lack of formal education.
Chris decided it was time to take advantage of the opportunity to attend school, and committed to a full-time two-year program in order to improve his chances for finding a good career with advancement opportunities.
Chris received assistance with his tuition, books, and mileage through the program, as well as encouragement and academic advising from staff at Workforce Services and Joliet Junior College. Chris was able to graduate with honors from Joliet Junior College in May of 2019 with an AAS degree in Computer Aided Drafting and is now working at Cinch Connectivity Solutions as an Electromechanical Designer.
Chris says: “I was able to fulfill my dream of graduating college in the USA. I really like my new job, and my career outlook seems much brighter now.” Chris worked very hard and we wish him great success!
