Luis (pictured at right) was referred to career services by CUL’s Re-Entry HUB team in hopes of finding a job to support his family and to be compliant with the terms of his probation. Luis didn’t have a resume and lacked the resources needed to help him find gainful employment. The Career Services team worked with Luis to identify his skill set, write a resume, and connect with employer partners. On June 24, 2024, Luis was hired as a switcher for FedEx and is currently earning an annual salary of $49,920, along with healthcare benefits, paid time off, and he has elected to contribute to his retirement through a 401K plan.
