Tyshawn Lewis - A JOBS Success Story (Essex Vicinage)
Essex Vicinage Senior Probation Officer Nelly Pazmino referred client Tyshawn Lewis to Vantage Point for employment/vocational training. He told his officer he wanted to find work so he could take care of himself and his family.?
Tyshawn started attending National Career Institute for HVAC and Electricity in February 2024. He was excited to attend and earn a certification. He was progressing through the program and seemed to be doing well.
Nelly was expecting to see a happy Tyshawn when he met with him just before he graduated, but he seemed discouraged.
He said he was overwhelmed by the rigors of the program and felt there was so much pressure on him to study and take exams while he was unemployed and could not support his family.
Nelly helped Tyshawn focus on his immediate goal - graduating – and asked him to look ahead at what the certifications could mean for his future.?
At the end of the visit, Tyshawn realized he was just having cold feet.
After he graduated, Tyshawn sent Nelly a picture of him in his cap and gown when he graduated. He is certified as a HVAC technician and has an OSHA – 30 certification.?
He thanked Nelly for motivating him to make his dream a reality.

1 个月This is a nice feel good story, but there are very few.....the focus should be on improving the the judical system that unfortunately creates the feeling Tyshawn had of "cold feet" which I do not think was the case.
