This episode features a guest special to the Louisville Urban League. Over four years ago, Courtney Robinson came to the LUL seeking record expungement services. An old criminal infraction limited his employment choices resulting in a string of dead-end jobs. Robinson met with a Workforce Development Specialist who encouraged him to enter the Kentuckiana Builds program. He reluctantly agreed and his life was changed over the six-week course.
Robinson joined Messer Construction in 2019 as a Carpenter Apprentice and is now the Urban Workforce Development Initiative (UWDI) Specialist. He works as a liaison between Messer Construction Company and the Louisville Urban League to support and strengthen the recruitment and career growth of minorities and women in the field. Robinson will officially complete his apprenticeship program in December of 2023 to become a Journeyman Carpenter.
