“I had been trying to get my life together and felt lost, looking for my place in the workforce and a chance at a career with potential for advancement. I met Duncan at SkillsRI and he connected me to the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association Pre-Apprenticeship Program at CCRI in Newport. The experience I had with this program was incredible. I’ve made contacts and associations I would have never made otherwise and have learned things I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I have never been more proud of the accomplishments that I made through this program. Upon graduating, I was immediately hired to work at Bristol Marine and I’m extremely excited about the possibilities that lie ahead of me.”
