When Alvin was 18, he was working a retail job and felt directionless. Alvin had always dreamed of being successful and passionate about his career. He also knew that college wasn’t going to be a reality for him and that he’d need to find another path to follow his dreams.

Growing up in Ogden, Utah, Thaddaeus had always known about the Clearfield Job Corps Center but never understood the impact of the program until he experienced it himself. Before joining Job Corps at the age of 22, Thaddaeus held down a variety of odd jobs: a teacher’s assistant, customer service representative at Home Depot and finally a caretaker for an elderly veteran. It was this caretaker role that spurred his interest in helping people and inspired him to pursue the Advanced Emergency Management training program at Job Corps.
