Mackenzie Millward had just graduated with a degree in geology when the pandemic started in 2020. While it left jobs related to her area of study scarce, the pandemic gave her the time to consider her career prospects. That鈥檚 when she decided to follow in her father鈥檚 footsteps and become a firefighter.

Having her tuition for the FFTC program fully funded allowed her to pursue her new dream career without any financial restrictions and giving her a head start in getting hired on by a fire department.

鈥淭his grant allowed me to choose the school that I actually wanted to go to and alleviated my financial restrictions,鈥 Millward said. Without it, 鈥淚 would鈥檝e gone to a different program that may not have had the best training or the amount of practical experience that we get here 鈥 So I feel much more prepared for what the career will look like and I owe it to this grant opportunity coming when it did, giving me a head start on my dream career.鈥

Joel Laurette says the grant funding allowed him to complete his 台湾六合彩历史开奖 firefighter training earlier than he otherwise would have been able to afford, allowing him to pursue job openings sooner.

Similarly, Joel Laurette says the grant funding allowed him to complete the FFTC program sooner than he would have been able to otherwise. After working as a wildland firefighter for seven years, he wanted to transition to a year-round, professional firefighting career. But without the grant, he would have had to work another summer wildfire season before saving enough for the 台湾六合彩历史开奖 studies. 

鈥淲hich means I potentially would鈥檝e missed some hiring opportunities because they come and go so quickly and if you鈥檙e not ready and you鈥檙e not certified then you can鈥檛 apply,鈥 Laurette said.

Ultimately, without the grant he says he would have tried to complete the training as he could afford it. 鈥淚 would鈥檝e tried but the grant made it so that it took the fear away from trying. I didn鈥檛 have to worry about how much it was going to cost.鈥
