Joshua’s Path to Employment with Michigan Pavers and Walls

Joshua walked into the Flint Service Center seeking a fresh start and a new career opportunity. Having recently relocated back to Flint to be closer to family, Joshua was ready to take on a new challenge in the construction industry. With a solid background as a union carpenter in New Jersey, Joshua’s skills and work ethic were evident, but he was looking for the right opportunity to restart his career in Michigan.

As a Business Solutions Professional at GST Michigan Works!, Erich immediately recognized Joshua’s potential and the value he could bring to a local employer. After reviewing his resume, he knew he had the perfect connection to help him get started. Michigan Pavers and Walls, a reputable company in the Flint area, was hiring Laborers and Bricklayers with an excellent starting wage. Erich reached out to his business contact at Michigan Pavers and Walls and shared Joshua’s resume with her.
