Billy’s Story

Billy connected with a Four Oaks Workforce Success Manager during his senior year of high school. They worked together to explore his interests and develop a plan for his future. 

Billy completed Four Oaks’ PATHS Workshops, which helped him develop the skills and confidence he needed to begin an apprenticeship program in the skilled trades.

Fast forward to today, Billy is now employed full-time in a career that he enjoys and allows him to provide for his family.

Cayleb’s Story

Cayleb has taken full advantage of the services and supports offered through the Four Oaks Workforce Program. Cayleb started by exploring his career interests and successfully completing each of eight offered PATHS workshops. As a result, he was able to increase his skills and feel confident as he started his education pathway. Cayleb and his Workforce Success Manager meet regularly to discuss his progress and review the action steps he has in place to take big steps toward the future he dreams about. Cayleb has participated in several Four Oaks sponsored job shadows and networking events. Through the program, Cayleb was able to earn a scholarship that helps support him as he pursues an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Parks and Natural Resources at Kirkwood Community College.
