From Roadblocks to Highways

Huron – Xander came to GST Michigan Works! in Bad Axe as a referral from the Huron Area Technical Center.  He was being assisted by Carrie Prill, Transition Supports Provider.  Xander was not able to take CDL-A training at the Tech Center, so his other alternative was sponsorship from GST Michigan Works! 

Xander qualified for our services as an Out of School Youth. He started training through Maier Driver Ed School which is now called Thumb CDL LLC. After some slight delays, Xander completed his training, drive time and obtained his CDL A License.  He started working as a Semi Driver for Robert Krug Farms. He works over 40 hours per week and is enjoying a permanent job with a great wage.

Thanks to GST Michigan Works! services and financial mileage assistance, Xander is now making over $10 more per hour than before and has a certification that spans many industries!
