Joel felt stuck in his life and yearned for change, though he was initially hesitant to begin his journey with NCIA. However, after researching NCIA and learning about the success of NCIA’s Vocational Training Center, he decided to take the leap and join the program.

Through his time at NCIA, Joel learned to overcome challenges and shed old habits, evolving into a better version of himself. He took control of his life, finding immense appreciation for the NCIA staff who welcomed him into the program, supported his journey, and provided the resources needed to find happiness.

He is now excited to have acquired a skill that he can apply in the real world to create a stable career.

His experience at NCIA has inspired him to motivate others just as he was motivated.

Joel’s story is a testament to the success of NCIA’s Vocational Training Program. Despite his initial hesitation, Joel embraced the opportunity to gain a valuable skill and make significant changes in his life and community.

He is deeply thankful to the NCIA staff for their support and encouragement, which allowed him to change his life without the burden of financial responsibility. He has found a family at NCIA, and we are extremely proud of his growth and dedication to bettering his life.
