From Setback to Opportunity: The Sam Montoya Story
Job loss can be overwhelming, but here at DES, the Division of Employment and Rehabilitation Services (DERS), Employment and Training Administration (EA) works daily to assist a particular group of individuals who find themselves unemployed through no fault of their own. The DERS EA administers the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program which is a federally-funded program that assists workers who are unemployed due to increased imports from, or production shifts to foreign countries. The TAA program goal is to help trade-affected workers return to suitable employment as quickly as possible.
Watch this inspiring video of one man’s journey from setback to opportunity through the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program and how DES was able to help him get back on his feet!
