Khan Qurashi, who was the first woman hired as an equipment engineering technician at Finisar's Sherman plant, graduated with an associate degree in laser electro-optics in 2017. She says her new job will give her the opportunity to further develop her advanced manufacturing skills.

'I really like learning and I want to become a mechanical engineer,' says Qurashi. 'And with Finisar, I can study for my degree and keep working for the company.'

As for Jackson, who has been on the job at Finisar since October, he feels like he's been given a fresh start.

'New skills, new home, new job,' he says. 'And a new outlook on life.'
