π SCSEP Success Story: Chris Thomas π
After decades of experience in construction, home improvement, and millwork, Chris Thomas faced unexpected barriers reentering the workforce, including age discrimination and challenges during his job search.
Through SCSEP at Legacy Link, Chris found a supportive opportunity to rebuild confidence and showcase his skills without bias. He strengthened his digital skills in Microsoft Office, data entry, and even explored new tools like AI through Microsoft 365.
With his combined experience and new training, Chris stepped into his role as Facilities Coordinator, where he brings together his construction background and procurement expertise while continuing to grow professionally.
Chris encourages other older adults to stay active, keep learning, and continue building connectionsβbecause experience still matters.
π Congratulations, Chris, and welcome back to the workforce!
