After George Hazel was injured at his job in the auto body industry, he needed a change. He used Worker Retraining Funds for Dislocated Workers to enroll in Business Administration at Highline College. Airport Jobs hosted George for an internship required by his degree program. Highline College partners with Port Jobs to deliver on-site credit-bearing classes at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport through Port Jobs’ Airport University.
At Airport Jobs, George learned about a GSE mechanic position at TUG Technologies and was hired full-time at $18.00/hour with full benefits!
George says, “My degree from Highline helped me progress rapidly to a supervisor-level position. The previous employee did not have the formal education I did, and resigned after he found out how much work went along with the job. The Microsoft Suite Programs, Managing Customer Service and the Transportation & Logistics trainings I received at Airport University gave me data and administrative skills needed for this position.
Recently in his new position as TUG Supervisor, George returned to Airport Jobs to network and recruit new TUG employees. “Thank you, Airport Jobs!”
