Jason Ayers’ inspiring journey is a powerful reminder that no matter the obstacles, transformation is possible. After facing major hurdles, including time in the Tennessee Department of Corrections and struggling to find employment due to his background, Jason didn’t give up. Motivated by his daughter, he took a leap by enrolling in Goodwill’s Construction and Weatherization program, a FREE course designed to equip individuals with essential skills like electrical work, plumbing, and more. Now, he's proud to be working with the Nashville Department of Transportation.

His story is a testament to the power of second chances and the impact of finding the right support. Whether you’re a veteran, looking for a career change, or seeking a fresh start, our free construction courses can open doors you didn’t think were possible. Watch his journey and discover how you can begin yours too!
