MEET VICTOR SOSA
"United Way has empowered me."
I
n 2018, Victor was identified as a high performer when in high school. Growing
up, he lived in a single female-headed household that struggled to make ends
meet. Educators saw his potential and helped connect him with a United Way-
supported workforce development initiative. He went through no-cost training and
earned a union career at Pratt & Whitney.
In 2025, Victor and his high school sweetheart remain employed at Pratt & Whitney,
recently purchased a house complete with a new puppy, and welcomed their first child
in November. Victor is utilizing a tuition reimbursement program his employer provides
to attend law school, with his sights set on working as in-house counsel.
