Amber – Texas ABC Training Academy (Carpentry Graduate)

I’m so grateful for this program Creative Corrections. I had just got out prison and didn’t know what route to take. A friend of mind told me about this program, and I signed up. I met with Ms. Marsha which is a sweet, kind and caring person. She led me in the right direction, signed me up for carpentry at ABC construction, where I learned a great trade to not only take care of my family but prosper. Because of this I was able to regain my confidence and strength in today’s society. This experience has truly been a blessing. I thank everyone who has helped me though.

Jaime – Texas ABC Training Academy (Basic Rigging/Carpentry Graduate)

Creative Corrections Education Foundation has given me a once in a lifetime opportunity to turn my life in the right direction. After serving 24 years in prison and having no future direction, no workplace experience or training in any area. Creative Corrections Education Foundation helped me get the opportunity to go to a trade school and be trained and not be judge for my past. I am beginning a bright future thanks to this wonderful opportunity.

Chris – Texas ABC Training Academy (Basic Rigging/Electrical Graduate)

First off, I want to thank Mrs. Marsha and Creative Correction Education Foundation for the opportunity on taking this course. Not only did this course give me an opportunity to learn more electrical work but now I will be NCCER certified. Blessing like this program don’t come along in life often but I’m glad I took it and stuck with it for the 4 years.

Angel – Texas ABC Training Academy (Basic Rigging/Electrical Graduate)

I’m eternally grateful for the opportunities CCEF have afforded me. My life was leading nowhere from dead end job to dead end job, with no secure path. Trying to work retail with a felony record is extremely hard, but CCEF gave me the chance to have something under my belt that made me stand out to employers. I went for the longest course available because I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to the fullest extent.

4 years later, and I’m so glad I soldiered through because now I’m a standout employee with a credible company. I can’t say enough good things about this foundation because they are really the tools to succeed when I thought I was down and out. I changed my life with this program, and I guarantee you can too!
