Cyndicy had set out to change her life. After spending her teenage and young adult years struggling through poverty, unemployment, and incarceration in Baltimore City, Cyndicy—a single mother of four—took a chance on a job-training program she saw advertised in a flyer. At the Jane Addams Resource Corporation, she enrolled in a six-months-long course in Computer Numerical Machining—a technical skill that underpins the robotics and machine industries.
Cyndicy says that her driving motivation is to build a better life for her kids and for herself. Even in the face of obstacles that were bigger than many people will experience, she held her family in her heart and worked to get to the next opportunity. FSET training providers welcome participants with a history of incarceration or other employment challenges. Those obstacles don’t stop most of our students, and they didn’t stop Cyndicy either. After she graduated from her CNC Machining course as a Certified Machining Specialist, Cyndicy was hired right away at a local robotics firm making $23 per hour plus benefits. Today, about two years since graduating, she makes over $30 per hour and has her eyes set on the next level of achievement. Cyndicy wants to help designs get off the ground at her job, and she’s thinking about pursuing her engineering degree. With the career she has now, her new dreams are within reach! Learn More…
