Upon completion of a union apprenticeship program, Marc is on track to become the first stationary engineer with a disability employed by Melwood Enterprises. As a stationary engineer apprentice at the USDA’s Carver Center, Marc and his team are responsible for the care and maintenance of a massive federal property through Melwood Enterprises’ total facility management program.
“You feel satisfied that you’re providing a service that helps people get through their day,” he said.
Marc also said he feels good knowing he’s learning a skill that will allow him to create a bright future for himself and his family. He sees a bright future for himself—one that even involves taking over for his boss when he retires, or maybe leading a team at one of Melwood Enterprises’ other contracts where total facility management is performed.
“If it was not for Melwood, I would not be here. There was nobody else willing to help out in my career, my path,” Marc said. “They gave me a second opportunity to make something of myself.”
