Gain Skills to Increase Production

Founded in 2021, Integrity Sales & Service specializes in welding, machining, fabricating, painting, and powder coating. The company partnered with DYNA Products, a long-time partner of GST Michigan Works!, to produce the DYNA-Cut Shears. These specialized shears are used to cut metal roofing, an essential product for the construction industry. Integrity Sales & Service’s top priority is delivering high-quality products to its customers.

In order to continue to provide those high-quality products, enhancing the skills of their employees, particularly in welding, became a key focus. The company contacted Business Services at the Caro office of GST Michigan Works! to see if funding was available to offset the company’s costs for training. After some discussion, it was determined that incumbent worker funding would be a great source of assistance for the company. Allowing companies to maintain a skilled workforce to remain competitive is a hallmark of the program. Five employees were trained in MIG Welding and found the training incredibly beneficial. 

Upon receiving the welding training, one employee was empowered to further his education with help from GST Michigan Works! He had dropped out of school before receiving his high school diploma. He began attending tutoring sessions and pre-tested for the GED. He plans to take the official test and obtain his GED very soon.
