So proud of Brooklyn Woods graduate Leslie from Cycle ‘24B ( #119), who was hired as a Machinist’s Apprentice at GMD Shipyard! After graduating from BW in May of 2024, Leslie began her employment journey with a part-time placement at Brooklyn West, as a workshop fabricator. While working there she applied and was accepted into the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s CNC Operator Training, a free, 16 week Saturday program. In late July of ‘24, we hired her at Brooklyn Woods’ social venture cabinet business, where she learned to operate the Weeke Vantech, our nested base CNC router. Leslie spent the next 5 months cutting out cabinet parts for the 60 unit rehab project for the Fifth Avenue Committee’s Warren Street building, and vanity parts for Monadnock Construction’s 90 unit project at 151 Blake Avenue. Kudos to Leslie!
