Carson Valley man’s career flying high thanks to JOIN

The ups and downs Walker Jackson, 20, experiences these days are far different from the ups and downs he experienced growing up and struggling to find his way as an adult. Jackson, with the help of JOIN Inc., Northern Nevada’s workforce development agency, landed a position as a maintenance worker at the Minden-Tahoe Airport at more than double the wage he’d been eking out on his own washing windows or doing other odd jobs.
