Skillpoint Alliance Permian Basin

💡 Student success story: While working as a handyman, Gregory found out about the Skillpoint Alliance pre-apprentice electrical program from his sister, who thought it would be a good opportunity for him to start a more stable career. After doing some research, he thought the program would be a great fit for him and his son, and they both enrolled in Skillpoint’s pilot electrical class in Killeen, Texas in November 2023. In December of 2023, the Grimes’ received first and second place in the skills challenge, a showcase that is held at electrical graduations for students to show family, friends and employers what they have learned during their time with Skillpoint. A local employer, RK Bass, was in attendance for this showcase and was extremely impressed with Grimes' skills. Both Gregory and J.R. were hired on by RK Bass and now work as apprentice electricians/laborers, getting to work on various projects within the company. 🛠️ Ready to write your own success story?

⭐ Spotlight on Success: Samantha Blackstone, San Marcos Manufacturing Graduate. Samantha, who graduated from our San Marcos CPT class in September of 2023, is a true example of turning your life around for the better. For a while, Samantha was experiencing homelessness and became justice-involved. However, Samantha shared she "has turned a bad situation into a good one". In the past year, Samantha has accomplished many of the goals she set for herself, including securing housing for her family, saving money to buy her own vehicle and recently completing her GED program! (See her grad photos below). Samantha is now employed with Caldwell Manufacturing in a CNC milling position making $18/hour. Samantha said, “I really like it, and I’m using everything I learned in class. I definitely wouldn’t have liked the job if I hadn’t gone to school at Skillpoint, because I am being challenged to do things that I learned in class.” If you're in a similar situation, head to our website to learn more about the programs we offer: https://brnw.ch/21wKPa6 #successstory #careertraining #workforcedevelopment #inspiration #motivation #CPT #CNC #womeninmanufacturing
