Client Success Story
Howlingstar D., MassHire Downtown Boston
Howlingstar - Client Success Story
Howlingstar D. came to the JVS MassHire Downtown Boston Career Center in March 2020 through the Training and Re-Employment webinar. She knew this was her opportunity to change her career path from retail to an occupation that she had been seriously considering - a commercial driver. Howlingstar worked closely with her Career Navigator to apply for WIOA funding and admittance to the CDL A - New England Tractor Trailer School program. Fast forward to this September, she has successfully completed the program and passed her final CDL license exam. She is now working full-time for a local specialized freight trucking company.

Howlingstar had this to say about her time with JVS MassHire: “Nicole is awesome! She went above and beyond her call of duty to ensure I was pointed in the right direction. I can’t thank her or MassHire enough for all the help and info that got me to where I am today. Thank you thank you thank you for everything!”
