Bell
“Everything
that GWTP taught me, I apply everyday to my job here at Terrace
Paper Company,” says Veronica Bell. As a single-mother
struggling to make ends meet Veronica worked various minimum
wage jobs but she soon wanted to learn a new trade and better
her situation. Veronica was unemployed for several months
when she saw an advertisement for GWTP’s Shipping
and Receiving Training Program in a church bulletin.
Veronica decided to apply and began her 12-week
training.
