Sometimes it doesn’t take long to figure out when you have a Rockstar on your hands. 💫✨
This is the case for our November Nevaeh Burnette, a Diesel Mechanic Apprentice at the Charles City, VA fleet maintenance shop. What better time to recognize one of our apprentices than during ?!
Nevaeh first met the Chaney team at a career fair before graduating from Southside Virginia Community College with her diesel mechanic certificate. 📚In April 2024, she began Chaney's four-year Diesel Mechanic Apprenticeship Program. Since day one she has been purposeful in her determination to learn and develop her skills. ⚙️
Nevaeh consistently shows an impressive ability to learn from her mentor, as well as other mechanics in the shop. She has diligently completed all training that has been offered (ahead of schedule) and is always seeking opportunities to learn more.
Nevaeh always has an optimistic attitude, regardless of the conditions of the day, which has led to an overall positive and outgoing shop environment – she has brought a lot to the team in a short amount of time. 🦺
Not one to wait to be told what to do, she takes on additional responsibilities, from organizing and inventorying the parts room, to repairing shop tools and equipment. Nevaeh always ensures her tools are kept in great condition and has expanded her tools and abilities as she progresses through the program. 🥳
She has taken on larger jobs, which require her to think critically and make repairs with her mentor that are on the level of a senior mechanic. Nevaeh continually pushes her peers, including other apprentices, to strive for growth in the field through sharing knowledge and the experiences she has gained.
Nevaeh has truly immersed herself in all aspects of Chaney culture and is a great example of how the Diesel Mechanic Apprenticeship Program is thriving. We are thrilled to announce Nevaeh Burnette as the November 2024 this National Apprenticeship Week! 🎉🙌
