UCCA,Inc. enrolled Ingram in the GED program at South Piedmont Community College so that he could further his education." He was provided with many leadership sessions that taught him about soft skills and the importance of leadership." After weeks of classroom learning he was given an opportunity to intern with the Town of Wadesboro’s Street Department as a laborer."

He is now making $11.00/hour and will be receiving full benefits after 6 months." He continues to attend his GED classes in hopes to complete his GED in 2017."
