Miles: Life After UAA

October 26, 2022

One of the things we are super proud of this year is being a part of the Uniquely Abled Academy (UAA)! This April, 10 more students graduated into careers of their own as certified CNC Machinists. To see a glimpse of their future, we caught up with Miles, who accepted a position with a well-respected manufacturing company in his community a mere 2 weeks after graduating from the Uniquely Abled Academy back in 2019. Since then, his life has transformed in the best ways possible: he has his own apartment, a great salary, and time enough for his favorite hobbies.
