A Path Torward Full Time, Lucrative Employment!

Brian came to GST Michigan Worsk! in Laper as a single parent seeking truck driver training to increase his overall wage potential and employability. Brian was previously working as a driver/installer for a cemetery. He was told that if he obtained his CDL he would be eligible for a raise. Brian was given time off to take a four-week truck driver training class.

Brian chose to attend 160 Driving Academy and could not say enough great things about the training site! “The school was an excellent choice and I felt well-prepared for a driving position.” Upon course completion, Brian went back to work and did not receive the raise he was promised by his employer.

One day, he ran into an old friend who shared a job lead at Coca-Cola in Flint. This opportunity provided a minimal commute, almost a $10/hr. wage increase, benefits and was a Teamsters Union position. Brian applied and was hired! He shared that he is so grateful for GST Michigan Works! assistance with the truck driving training and moving into this new chapter will be life-changing for he and his family.
