Inexperienced Youth Finds Success

Sanilac – Brandon Kitchen came into GST Michigan Works! looking for information on obtaining a CDL. Despite having no work experience, he was eager to get started with training and find employment. Brandon was eligible for WIOA as an Out-of-School Youth due to inexperience and lack of income.

Brandon began training at Thumb CDL in January. GSTMW! Sandusky Service Center was able to assist him with tuition and mileage reimbursement. Within a few months he had successfully completed the course. On the day of completion, Brandon began employment at Donley Excavating. 

GSTMW! was able to provide Brandon with complete tuition payment, mileage reimbursement, and youth incentive payments. He is now working full-time as a truck driver earning a competitive wage!
