After living in the United States for three years Mussie S. was searching for an avenue that could change his life.  With limited English and job skills he knew he had to do something to affect this change.  He became excited when learning about Job Corps and the training programs they offered.

Enrolling at the Keystone center he soon entered their plumbing program.  His instructor discribed him as somewhat timid at first but it didn’t take him long to show the determination needed to be successful.  As his confidence grew he became a leader in his trade; learning, mentoring new students and involving himself  in all aspects of  project assignments.

Following graduation his hard work resulted in a job placement with a residential property management firm in Largo, Maryland as a maintenance technician. 

He thanks his trade instructor for teaching him the skills needed to launch his carrer and Job Corps for providing a life changing opportunity.
