MOTIVE ACTION GRADUATE
I am able to help my family with bills, rent, and food. I am able to spend money on things that I couldn’t afford before. I’ve also met people with the same interests as mine and made new friends because of those interests. I am one step closer to becoming a Journeyman and finally achieving my goal of owning my own shop.

MOTIVE ACTION GRADUATE
I love what I do, and I have a career in a great trade. Before this, I felt lost and had no sense of direction in terms of what I wanted in life and throughout the course of employment, but after attending school and getting a job in the industry everything is different. I now know where I am headed, and I am constantly learning new things thanks to Motive Action.
