Steven Hewitt – Great Jobs KC – CDL Training
Steven was a fork lift operator and knew he wanted more. He had always wanted the freedom that comes with driving a truck for a living so he reached out to New Reflections Truck Driving School. There he learned about the Great Jobs KC program and that they offered this training tuition-free. All Steven had to do was qualify – “it was that easy.”

Deighton Urbanek – Great Jobs KC – Healthcare
Deighton had a calling to serve his community through a career in healthcare. Initially his roles were entry level support and cleaning.
