Overcoming Roadblocks

“DI does not do it all for you, but they give you foundations and building blocks.”

Some mistakes in my past caused many roadblocks as I moved toward a future career.  I was working on ways around these road blocks when I came to Deseret Industries.  DI does not do it all for you, but they give you foundations and building blocks.  I used all of those blocks and built my road to success.

My goal was to receive my Class B CDL with passenger endorsement and air brakes. While I worked at DI, I took every class they offered and worked as hard as I could.  I became a lead in one of the areas in just 45 days. I studied for the written portion of the CDL test, while DI paid for my CDL training and the driving test. I achieved my goal.

I spent five months at the DI and have accomplished everything I had hoped for. A position came open driving a city bus—I applied, I interviewed, and I got the job! I now have a career job thanks to the staff at Deseret Industries who helped to make this happen.
