Mr. Lawrence Rose

I’m Holding on to a Grain of Hope

I’ve always worked in the periphery of the construction industry but I’ve never really been able to break into the field. The Yonkers Green Connection will definitely help me get my foot in the door. I worked as a car mechanic for eight years so I have experience in the technical trades, but a lot has changed since I was working then. There have been a lot of new innovations and we learned them at BOCES. The teacher was right there with all the new techniques so I upgraded what I already know.

I am really motivated to do this. I had some trouble but I put that behind me. I’m not the kind of person who would let bad experiences hold me back. I am looking forward to re-establishing myself as a positive influence.

Katherine and Nicole are really dedicated and that makes me enthusiastic to make their jobs easier.

I hope that this program would be available not just on a local scale but on a national scale. I hope programs like this are made available to re-train and enhance training for everyone who needs it, especially since we will soon see a regenerated workforce.
