Congratulations to these Project GUIDE participants!

Milestone Unlocked!

We’re proud to celebrate a major achievement in our Project GUIDE Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Program!

Congratulations to Nana, Garrett, Jesse, Jilnae, Jared, John, Josiah, and Xavier for successfully completing Forklift Operator Certification Training facilitated by Hagerstown Community College.

Even more impressive, all eight participants are now:
✅ Forklift Operator Certified
✅ OSHA 10 Certified
✅ NCCER Core Certified
✅ Workforce Ready

These young adults have demonstrated commitment, professionalism, and a willingness to invest in their future careers in the skilled trades.

Please join us in congratulating them on this outstanding milestone! Also, a special thank you to HCC Bowman Workforce Training Center for making this training possible through the Maryland Department of Labor’s EARN Grant.

Top of the morning to you all! ☀️

They say the early bird gets the worm, and our Project GUIDE participants proved just that. They were up bright and early, traveling from Frederick County, MD to Hagerstown Community College to kickoff Group B’s Day One of Forklift Operator Training.

This incredible opportunity was made possible through the Maryland Department of Labor’s EARN Grant, providing our youth and young adults ages 17-24 with another industry-recognized credential as they prepare for careers in the skilled trades.

We’re proud of their commitment to showing up, putting in the work, and investing in their future. Stay tuned as we follow their journey!
