Success story
I was doing construction. Good money, but seasonal, and always sore. A friend told me about Volta’s program, so I gave it a shot.”
“I finished the course, passed my certification, and within a month I had a job with a big-name company. I get overtime, benefits, and I’m not wrecked at the end of the day.”
“Way better than swinging a hammer all day
I drove trucks for over eight years. Long hauls, decent pay — but I was never home. My kids were growing up without me. I was that guy who called from a truck stop or FaceTimed at bedtime. At some point, I realized: what’s the point of making money if your family barely knows you?
I used to manage a retail store — long hours, nights, weekends, always on my feet, and honestly, zero future. I didn’t want to be doing that in 10 years.
I came from the HVAC world. Did residential installs for years — attics in the summer, crawl spaces in the winter, unpredictable schedule, and honestly just burned out. The money wasn’t bad, but the physical toll and stress were getting to me.”
