Angel is a Sutter One Stop success story! Angel enrolled in the program in February 2019 during the second half of his junior year in high school. At that time, he still needed over 125 credits to graduate. Angel worked diligently and completed all of his work readiness requirements for the WIOA Program in order to participate in work experience.
Angel began his first work experience in March 2019 with the 99 Cent Only Store. He was doing a great job, but he was interested in a position that could possibly become permanent. Although the manager at the 99 Cents Only Store would loved to have hired Angel, he would not be turning 18 for quite some time, so they were not able to hire him permanently.
He was transferred to Papa Murphy’s where he did a great job and was hired on permanently. “He really came along,” stated Papa Murphy’s Owner Pam Kahlon, “He was very respectful and became a hard worker; a very hard worker.”
Angel continued at Papa Murphy’s while working towards his high school diploma, which he was determined to earn despite having to attend school for an additional six months. Nothing was going to stop Angel from succeeding. He earned that diploma in December 2020, all while working almost full time.
Right before graduating, he was offered a position with JR Pierce Plumbing in November 2020 where he continues to work full time as a plumbing laborer. Due to Angel’s continued determination and victories, he was able to get assistance through our partner program with purchasing the tools he needs in order to advance in his job. Angel hopes to become an apprentice by next year. “Angel is an outstanding worker,” JR Pierce Supervisor Anthony Redmond said, “He is always on time and determined to succeed.”
We here at Sutter County One Stop want to congratulate Angel for his determination and hard work; he is a SUCCESS! It has been a pleasure working with Angel and enjoying all of his successes along the way. We have no doubt that Angel will continue to be successful in his adult journey. We are proud that we were here to witness his journey.
