Curtis’ Journey: A Story of Hope and Encouragement - Professional & Technical Training Program CKP

Curtis’s story is a testament to the transformative power of this program. As our participant for 2024, Curtis recently completed his first term of post-secondary education. While the road hasn’t always been easy, Curtis’s determination and the support of the CKP community have set him on a path toward success.

"The best thing that ever happened ," Curtis says. Reflecting on his journey so far, he offers advice to others: "Be a good role model, don’t mess up. Keep on working, and don’t let anything bring you down."

Curtis’s progress inspires us all—and we can’t wait to see him achieve even greater milestones. His story is just beginning, and yours could be next.
