Moving forward thanks to WorkBC

Steven needed confidence to change careers

When Steven needed to find a new job, he did not know where to start. He had lost confidence that anyone would want to hire him.

Steven turned to WorkBC Centre Merritt for help.

WorkBC Centre Merritt worked with him to increase his confidence and his skills.

With support and encouragement from WorkBC, Steven earned his airbrake certificate and passed his Class 3 Driver’s License. Finally feeling confident with his new skills, he applied for work and was hired full time by Yellowhead Road and Bridge in Merritt.

Steven enjoys his job operating a snowplow and is proud to be keeping highways safe for other drivers. “I would not have been able to do it,” he said, “without everyone here at WorkBC.”
