Never Give Up!

“At Deseret Industries I learned real world skills.”

When I began the Deseret Industries training program, I was eighteen and had no work experience. DI gave me the support and training I needed to prepare for a good future.

At Deseret Industries I learned real world skills. Not only did I learn marketable work skills, but I learned how to get along with others. I learned how to be happy while I work, and how to stay calm under stress. I learned to be dependable and capable. While studying to improve my reading and math, I was taught to, “Never give up! Never give up!” This has become a part of me as I work with the young children in my care at my new job.

Deseret Industries is a wonderful place to meet many different people from many different backgrounds. I learned a great deal from them. They became examples to me of how I too could succeed. The counselors and job coaches were there to encourage me and always willing to listen.

I came to Deseret Industries because I needed money and could not find a job. My training at Deseret Industries made it possible for me to find a job that I love.
