Sheneitha previously worked as an Office Manager for a cleaning company and became unemployed. Unable to find employment she contacted GST Michigan Works! in Fenton in search of a career that was steady and in demand. After meeting with a career coach and discussing different in demand careers, she determined that she would like to obtain training for CDL A Truck Driver, which is in very high demand and has many opportunities for full-time employment. 

She completed WIOA paperwork and was enrolled. Her training began September 5th. She successfully completed September 29th, and went on to pass her state exam.

Nancy from U.S. Truck Driving School said Sheneitha surprised them and was a rock star in her training. She was focused, excelled in her training, andwas very motivated to gain these new skills so she could start working immediately.

US Truck Driving School hosted employers to meet their graduates. Werner Enterprises, INC was impressed with Sheneitha. She was hired and started working for Werner Logistics on October 30th as an Over the Road CDL A Truck Driver, working 40+ hours per week earning an excellent wage. 

Sheneitha is loving her new position as a professional truck driver. She said it is not easy but with the school she attended and the training she received; she feels very well equipped to do her job. She has already visited 10 different states, as far away as Iowa and Nebraska! Sheneitha said she is very grateful to GST Michigan Works! for providing her with this opportunity to fund her training!
