George heard about Golden Sierra while attending a Construction Boot Camp. As a low income individual who relied on family support for housing and basic needs, the cost of the required gear for a career in construction was out of reach. Golden Sierra used funding from a regional grant to assist George with the cost of getting the necessary tools, boots, and protective equipment for his future career. George’s success within the Construction Boot Camp program gave him the confidence to continue his education at Sierra College. He is currently enrolled in the Welding Fabrication program working toward multiple industry recognized certifications. George said the financial assistance helped make his career goals more attainable!
