Shifting Gears to Success

When Rassini Brakes, a leading automotive manufacturer, faced a setback in securing Going PRO Talent Fund support, they didn’t slow down. Instead, they shifted gears with the help of the GST Michigan Works! Business Services team. Recognizing the need to continue investing in their workforce, a new opportunity was identified: the Industry Infinity grant, an initiative focused on advancing manufacturing and cybersecurity talent solutions.

This strategic pivot proved to be a game-changer. Through Industry Infinity, Rassini Brakes accessed funding to implement high-impact training programs in partnership with respected institutions like Kettering University, MMTC, and Baker College. Employees received vital upskilling in key areas, including:

• IATF Internal Auditor Training
• Shop Floor Problem Solving
• Core Tools Application
• OMNEX Quality Systems Training

These trainings have directly contributed to enhanced quality assurance, operational efficiency, and a more agile workforce, hallmarks of a company ready to meet the demands of modern manufacturing.

With GST Michigan Works!, Rassini Brakes has not only advanced its team’s skills but reinforced its position as an innovative leader in the automotive supply chain.
