Jafari

Jafari and his family relocated to Worcester, MA, seeking sustainable employment to take care of his family. He attended a bilingual job fair at MassHire Career Center, recommended to him by the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA).

Previously, Jafari worked part-time as a stock clerk at a local grocery store and saved enough to enroll in CDL A training.

During the job fair, he was introduced to Dawn, a Career Counselor at MassHire, who guided him through the eligibility and suitability process required for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) training funds and resume building assistance. With the help of WIOA funds, Jafari completed CDL A training and now works as a driver for a local transportation company.

He is grateful to Dawn for her guidance and is excited about the increased income. He hopes he will be able to buy a home for his family in the future.
