Dmytro Z.’s story is inspiring. He arrived in the United States seeking safety and new opportunities after leaving Ukraine due to the Russia-Ukraine war. With a background as a system administrator in Kryvyi Rih, Dmytro possesses valuable skills in technology. However, upon his arrival, he faced many hurdles.
Yet he was determined to find a job quickly, relying on his own savings to support himself. Dmytro shared his dreams of working with computers with the JEVS Human Services Center for New Americans (CNA) staff, who worked with him to fill out the required forms.
After applying for jobs and doing well in his interviews, Dmytro received a job offer from the Scheerer Bearing Corporation. The company is known for making strong bearings used in tough industries like forestry and mining.
Four months after Dmytro started his job, the JEVS team visited the Scheerer Bearing Corporation. The owner praised Dmytro for his work ethic and ability to quickly learn production processes and English. Thanks to his dedication, Dmytro received a well-deserved salary increase, which contributes to his independence and stability.
Dmytro’s story reflects his strength and determination, especially coming from a war-torn country. JEVS CNA staff enjoyed working with Dmytro and is confident that he will continue to thrive in his career.
