This forklift represents so much more than a piece of equipment; it represents opportunity.

Thanks to a grant from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, NFCC has been able to connect community members with OSHA-aligned forklift certification training that leads to real career opportunities. So far, 11 participants have earned their certification, with more completing training this summer. Seven are already using their new credentials to pursue promotions and higher wages, while others are entering the workforce with greater confidence and the skills to launch careers in logistics. Carlos, one of our participants, shared, “I plan to use this certification to increase my employment opportunities and qualify for warehouse and forklift operator positions.” Every new skill learned, every certification earned, and every new opportunity brings our neighbors one step closer to long-term financial stability. We’re grateful to The Church of Jesus Christ of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for making these opportunities possible.
