Drew, fondly nicknamed "Uncle Drew" by the younger trainees in the Solar Works DC cohort, has worked in a variety of jobs in his lifetime, was finding that the work wasn't challenging. He found out about Solar Works DC through Indeed, and decided to apply for the job training program to develop skills for a career, and was happy he was able to jump into something new and different. "Normally, when you jump into a field like this, you have to have some kind of experience." After the program ends, he looks to stay in the solar industry.
