JobCorps offers incredible opportunities through its Advanced Training Programs—and 25 students from #PinellasCountyJobCorps expressed interest after hearing some incredible success stories from the Transportation Communications Union/IAM Railcar Mechanics program. Scottei’s story was especially inspiring. He honed his skills in welding at Job Corps before pursuing advanced training to become a Railcar Mechanic. Today Scottei serves as a Lead Carman, repairing railcars across the northern region. Despite the challenges of the job, Scottei remains determined to excel, embracing each day as an opportunity for growth and adventure. In just his first year at Canadian Pacific Railway, Scottei earned over $150,000, a testament to his dedication and skill. But for Scottei, it’s not just about the paycheck. “Believe in yourself. When you know something’s right, keep going for it. Don’t let anybody underestimate you. Only you know your own value,” he shares. o: buff.ly/3vAKj6u.
