Forging A Future, Welding Dreams

Ethan has been a great student who is motivated to succeed. He has worked hard in tutoring to improve his skills. He has managed to balance his employment, education, and family responsibilities. His determination will serve him well in the future!

When Ethan started his GED, he dropped out of high school after being suspended. He had a record of excessive absences and lacked marketable occupational skills. Luckily, he was eligible for the WIOA program in order to obtain those skills! 

Ethan has earned his GED through the Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates program. He has taken the time to set goals for his future and higher education. He has landed a full-time job and plans to continue working two jobs until he enters welding training to become a full-time welder and mechanic.

“When I first came to the program, I felt unprepared for my GED, but I was eager to start the process. As a graduate, I feel relieved and confident that I am on track for my future. My JMG Specialist helped me a lot; she took the time to teach me and refresh me before my tests, and I appreciate the support.” – Ethan Teller
