Young Professionals Grant
Huron - D’Carlos Sageman was referred to the Huron County GST Michigan Works! Service Center by the City of Bad Axe. The city wanted to hire D’Carlos for their Summer Recreation Program as a Camp Counselor and heard that we may be able to sponsor D’Carlos as a “Young Professional”. The Young Professionals grant allows GST Michigan Works! to sponsor youth for employment over the summer by reimbursing the employer for their wages.
D’Carlos qualified for the program and began working for the City of Bad Axe in June of 2022. He did a great job as a Camp Counselor and received excellent evaluations throughout his time with the city!
He completed with the City of Bad Axe in August and started looking for the next step in his young career. He applied at S&S Family Childcare Center. Because of his prior experience working with kids through summer rec., the daycare hired him as a Daycare Assistant. He works approximately 20 hours per week and is looking into going back to school so he can work in the Bad Axe School system as a Para-pro.
