Corey's Story

"Goodskills bridged the gap from a military career to a manufacturing career."

After an honorable career in the United States Marine Corps, Corey faced a difficult transition back to civilian life. He struggled to find purpose and direction, unsure of how to apply his military experience in a new environment. That changed when he joined Goodskills Career Builder.

At first, Corey found it challenging to stay focused. But he quickly adapted, drawing on the leadership skills he honed in the Marines to support and motivate others in his class. His presence became a source of encouragement, helping fellow participants stay on track and reach their goals.

Corey’s hard work, attention to detail, and strong work ethic made him an ideal candidate for Precision Rollform in Jamestown, where he now thrives as an exemplary employee as a Crate Builder and Machine Operator. His commitment to excellence and his ability to learn quickly have earned him the respect of his peers and supervisors alike.

Corey’s story is one of transformation and service—both to his country and to his community. He embodies the mission of Goodwill: empowering individuals to overcome barriers and achieve meaningful employment.
