Kary Kurosawa: “TCU Is My Path Out of Poverty”

For Kary Kurosawa, the TCU/IAM Advanced Transportation Training Program isn’t just a career training opportunity—it’s a lifeline.

“TCU is the only way for me to escape poverty,” Kary shares. “It’s the only way that I will be able to support myself and my friends in the future.”

Coming from a background where options were limited and the future uncertain, Kary found something more than just skills in the TCU program—they found hope, direction, and purpose. The program offers hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world career pathways that lead to good-paying, stable jobs in the transportation industry.

“If the TCU program closes, then I will lose everything,” Kary says. For students like Kary, this program isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Without burdening students with college debt, the TCU/IAM program equips individuals with the professional, technical, and life skills they need to succeed. It’s helped thousands step into careers with Amtrak and other rail carriers, breaking generational cycles of poverty and creating new opportunities.

Kary's story is a powerful reminder that programs like TCU/IAM are not just training centers—they’re gateways to a better life.
