Testimonials
Workforce Investment Solutions success is dependent upon our customers success.
We are proud of the following examples of a few of our success stories.
“Workforce more than exceeded my expectations. Not only did they assist in the cost of tuition and books, but they also helped to cover the cost of daycare, the cost of gas to and from school, and any supplies and uniforms that were required for school as well. Not only did this assistance make it possible for me to continue with my education, but it also helped to give my daughter and I somewhat of a normal life back while I completed the program as well.”

“I went to MTI Tech School for my medical assistant and graduated in December of 2019 even when I felt like giving up the WIOA program and my family was there to motivate me and keep me going and I really appreciate them for that I honestly don’t think I would’ve made it this far without the program. I would highly recommend the program to anyone. No it’s not easy but anybody can make it through it.”

“In May 2016, Phillip was able to obtain employment as draftsman/junior project engineer at Green Valley Manufacturing, Inc, Mt. Zion, IL. Workforce Investment Solutions worked with Green Valley’s plant manager to create an On-The-Job Training (OJT) contract where Phillip would learn new training skills every 60 days for the next six months. The OJT program was structured where training goals were detailed for the six months. Every two months, when new skills were obtained, there was a monetary raise.”
