Frank’s Success Story

Frank came to Golden Sierra after being laid off from a long-time position as a general foreman. After spending years commuting from Roseville to San Francisco, he was ready to find a less physically demanding career based closer to home. After enrolling in the QUEST Grant program for dislocated workers, he was able to research the labor market and visit several truck driving schools. Frank had an expired Class A license and enjoyed driving, so he asked for assistance in obtaining a new Class A license with the intention of finding work as a truck driver. Funding through the QUEST Grant allowed for Frank to attend an approved program, where he excelled and was able to obtain the relevant training needed to help him obtain his Class A driver’s license. A week after completing training, Frank was able to secure full-time employment driving concrete. His new position offered a competitive starting wage and offered many options for working overtime. Frank is grateful for both the stability he is experiencing in his new career and the support he received through Golden Sierra.
