Bad Axe - When Jeremiah came to the Bad Axe Service Center, he didn’t have a home to call his own. He had been staying with various friends, working 2-3 jobs in local restaurants trying to make ends meet and maintain his transportation. He needed some guidance in settling on a career. He had long term goals but needed some assistance in taking the small steps on the path to his ultimate goal in advanced welding.

With the support of his Career Coach, Jeremiah applied for and enrolled in training in Basic Welding at Mid-Michigan College, Bad Axe Campus. Upon completion of training, Jeremiah received a Certificate and promptly entered the GST Michigan Works! Young Professional work experience program.

Placed at Legendary Fabrication and Welding, Jeremiah excelled and received excellent employer reviews and at the end of the 90-day program. Legendary offered Jeremiah a full-time permanent position as welder! This opportunity provided Jeremiah the job he was looking for, and a career he can continue to grow into. Through the course of this experience, Jeremiah was able to rent an apartment. He now has a place to call home and a good start on his career.
