Rolls Mechancial

Rolls Mechanical is a woman-owned business based in Fenton, Michigan. For over 27 years, they’ve been providing commercial and industrial facilities with expert HVAC, refrigeration, controls and plumbing services. Rolls Mechanical provides 24-7-365 service and new construction services. They strive to provide high quality work, accompanied by awesome customer service and honesty. 

Karly Rolls understands the trades are suffering from labor shortages and lack of qualified/skilled talent. People are retiring and Rolls Mechanical is finding it hard to locate new and experienced tradespeople to fill those positions. Karly and Rolls Mechanical are looking for new ways to train their incoming new hires and apprentices. Without properly training new plumbers and HVAC technicians, they are limited in the amount of work they can do, their profitability will suffer, and there are huge safety concerns. They also want to be able to upskill their current employees that have been with them for years. Upskilling their current employees in training focused on leadership and other certifications could benefit the company by providing new ways for current employees to train new hires. 2022 Going PRO was a way to help offset the cost of training new hires/apprentices and upskilling the current employees at Rolls Mechanical by training them to be new team leads or future managers.  

Rolls Mechanical was able to use the Going PRO Talent Fund to aid in the cost of upskilling select current employees in trainings such as: Leadership Training, Refrigeration Advancements, Refrigerant Handling – EPA License, OSHA 10, Boiler Training, and Med Gas Certification. The Going PRO Talent Fund also aided in the training costs of their new hires for trainings such as: on-the-job Training (OJT), OSHA 10, and refrigeration advancements.

GST Michigan Works! helped Karly and her team at Rolls Mechanical throughout the 2022 Going PRO Award year and aided with the registration & application process when needed. The total amount of Going PRO Talent Fund Award reimbursement for training completed in 2022 was $26,230.00! Karly Rolls stated, “I understand how important these trainings are for the future of Rolls Mechanical’s current and future employees. The  Going PRO Talent Fund has been a great program for us!”
