On the Road to Opportunity

Mike came to GST Michigan Works! for assistance with completing his CDL to be eligible for a promotion at work.

He had been working as a General Laborer with IDF Clean Up in Imlay City since 2018. He enjoyed his job and his employers. IDF shared with Mike that they were looking for more drivers and would love to consider him for the position if he was willing to complete CDL training. Mike was very excited about this opportunity because it could lead to an increase in wages!

Mike was unable to afford the training costs on his own, so he began to investigate assistance options and found GST Michigan Works!. GST was able to assist him with his training, drug screening, permit, driving test, and CDL license. He completed his CDL training with Thumb CDL on November 3rd and was able to move into the Driver position with IDF Clean Up.
