Whitney Young Job Corps operated under Horizons Youth Services trained Brick student, Darius Cryer, age 20, to become a top choice for a promising career. Gray Construction located in Lexington, KY was looking for construction talent that could grow into management in years down the pike. After touring the center and interviewing several students, they selected Darius as their guy. Darius, who is from Memphis, TN, knew he wanted a career after working in a warehouse for one year so he enrolled at WMYJCC. In only 6 months Darius completed the brick program and earned his OSHA 10 certification, in addition to being the shop foreman, SGA leader, dorm leader, and participated in the work based learning program. Darius is the type of guy who steps up to the plate and delivers what is expected and then some. His team won the KY Job Corps Trade Olympics for 2018. Darius quotes is “Work hard, stay out of trouble and you will succeed”. He is very thankful for everything and starting his career.
