Through the program, Michael gained not only technical skills but a renewed sense of purpose. He realized he could still provide for his family without sacrificing time with them.

Today, Michael is happier than ever. His new job gives him the flexibility he always wanted, allowing him to be present in his son’s life while building a solid career. For Michael, this isn’t just a new job—it’s a second chance to live life on his own terms.
