Shaun Cormier: Making a Difference One Life at a Time

From Youth Facing Challenges to a Mentor of Hope

Introducing Shaun Cormier, the Quality Assurance Manager who has been with Acadiana Workforce Solutions for four years. Shaun is responsible for the compliance and data integrity of our program. To know Shaun is to know that he doesn’t allow his job duties to end there. He is heavily involved with all aspects of the participants we serve. His passion is apparent when it comes to our Summer Work Experience program for the youth in our communities.

“I was one decision away from being a participant in our program,” Shaun begins, “My parents would have both been eligible for our services. When someone walks through our door, I see myself or I see my dad. That’s my ‘why’.”

While he has never held the title of “Career Coach” (our team members who are working one-on-one with the participants), Shaun is always willing and available to assist. He sees himself as a mentor or a big brother type.

He says, “I try to be the person I needed when I was growing up. Just an objective ear and someone who may be able to provide advice that could benefit them down the road.”

Drawing from his own experiences as a youth facing challenges, Shaun is dedicated to helping these participants overcome their obstacles the same way he overcame his. Way to go, Shaun!
