INVESTMENT PROGRAM PUTS LATINO AND BLACK YOUTHS FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDES ON
A PATH TO JOB SECURITY

center in Chicago. (Shanna Madison / Chicago Tribune)





Every day, right before the sun sets, Marilyn Ulloa makes her way to her job as
a commercial truck driver in the Chicago area; it’s an unusual career path for a
young woman, but one that has been rewarding, she said.

At 22, Ulloa was inspired to obtain a commercial driver’s license through a
program funded by PREP — the Pathways to Readiness and Empowerment Program by
PepsiCo — which embodies the company’s commitment to investing more than $5
million in community organizations to motivate young people from Chicago’s South
and West sides and finance a path for them to enter different careers by 2026.

For Ulloa, who thought that only men could thrive in the trucking industry, the
opportunity has been a blessing, she said. Shortly after getting her CDL, the
Cicero resident got hired as a driver at PepsiCo’s 35th Street distribution
center in October. One day, she said, she hopes to have her own trucking
company.
