Ian Arnold was laid off from Volvo in February. He had not been to work at Volvo very long, and was really looking forward to the promise of great benefits and good wages- Especially for this area. Unfortunately, being caught up in this layoff alerted him to the fact that the truck market is very cyclical. Even if he were to be called back before running out of unemployment benefits, he was afraid that it may only be temporary. Ian was now hearing the stories of others that had been employed at Volvo and had to endure layoff after layoff. He wanted to find something different…. something more stable that would offer him benefits and a good wage. Driving a truck was something he found appealing. However, $4000 to pay for training is a high price tag for someone that has just been laid off and drawing unemployment. Thanks to the DLW program, within just a few weeks he was able to attend training at Alliance, and had secured employment in a high-demand occupation that pays well and offers benefits.
Otto Justus (JR) was laid off from Bates Contracting, which does contracting work for coal mines, in July 2015. He came to the Dislocated Worker Program as a referral from the VEC. JR attended the Aviation Maintenance Program at Northeast State Community College. He graduated in May 2016 with a 4.0 GPA. He has since moved to Johnson City, TN and is the new Director of Maintenance at Signature Healthcare, an assisted living facility in Greenville, TN. He makes an excellent salary with benefits.
