Mandel Brown came to AAWDC , seeking a fresh start after incarceration. Wanting to provide financial stability for his son, Mandel decided to pursue a Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL-A) certification. While completing his training, AAWDC provided additional support, including transportation assistance and career coaching. Mandel’s hard work paid off, and he landed a position with Western Express upon completion of his training. Mandel has since been promoted to Driver Trainer and helps guide new hires through their first 90 days, paying forward the support he received on his own journey.
