Worker Retraining Grad
Robert Cummings was laid off in early 2006 from Sinnett's MarketPlace, where he was a journeyman retail clerk, warehouse manager and receiving clerk.

That Spring, he started at LCC, with help from the Worker Retraining Program. He was LCC’s top Accounting Student for 2006-07, and will graduate Winter of 2008. He’s working for Opsahl, Shepp & Company, getting work experience and looking forward to moving up.

"If it weren't for the grants and the Worker Retraining, I wouldn't have been able to go through school," he said.
