Tony S. came to WorkSource as a veteran whose injuries prevented him from working in his chosen trade of plumbing. To make matters worse, his injuries and a prior conviction had become barriers to employment as well as housing. Our team at WorkSource not only helped him connect with VA benefits and other resources, but also helped him re-shape his résumé and learn how to introduce his justice involvement history to employers in a positive way. Within 10 days of arriving at WorkSource Spokane, Tony secured employment with a local apartment management company. In a community with a lack of housing and availability, Tony’s preparation and thorough follow-through, combined with our assistance, led him obtaining this perfect position that accommodates his injuries, provides housing and pays a living wage.
