About this book

“I realized that learning a trade was more than just mastering a skill—it was about gaining control over my future.” 

The Apprenticeship that Saved My Life tells the inspiring story of one man’s journey from Baltimore’s tough streets to a life of purpose, stability, and impact. 

Cory McCray was on a path many young men know all too well—one shaped by struggle and limited opportunity. But when a single decision led him into an apprenticeship program, everything changed. Through hands-on training, grit, and an unshakable commitment to growth, he found a way to rewrite his future. 

In this candid memoir, McCray shares the highs and lows of his journey, illustrating the transformative power of skilled labor and mentorship. Individuals will discover how his experiences as an apprentice shaped not just his career but his life, providing him with the foundation to become a Maryland State Senator dedicated to empowering his community. Alongside these personal stories, The Apprenticeship that Saved My Life delves into the lasting impact apprenticeships can have, particularly for those who might be overlooked by traditional educational paths. 

For anyone who believes in the power of second chances and the untapped potential within every community, The Apprenticeship that Saved My Life is a powerful reminder that sometimes the right opportunity can change everything. Dive into this transformative story and explore how one apprenticeship not only saved a life but sparked a movement.
