Maudeline, Maryland

She says: "I feel like I have a bright future ahead of me!" Meet Maudeline. Through the NFJP program, she gained training in Telamon MD's culinary arts program. Married with six children, Maudeline aspired to work as a cook at the local hospital, and Telamon helped her work toward that goal. A mere two years ago, she felts as if she was destined to spend her entire life working on a farm. Empowered by on-the-job training and classroom skill-building sessions provided by Telamon, Maudeline is now well on her way toward the bright future she envisions. "To be in the NFJP program…is the most important step someone can take towards their dream. I feel like I have a bright future ahead of me! I can now support my family. I can now support my children. I cannot wait to graduate and start working."

Meet Brandi

Meet Brandi. Brandi joined Telamon's West Virginia National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) as a single mom. For many years, she supported her family as a line worker at a local poultry plant.
