Heather first heard about GST Michigan Works! services through GST Michigan Works! outreach at her high school.  She went on to complete the summer youth program, gaining experience and employment.  At the end of her participation, she and her Career Coach discussed the possibility of training and when she might want to get started. She left the discussion with the intention of looking into her training options. 

About a year later, she returned to GST Michigan Works! with the desire to become a Certified Nurse Aid.  Heather was adamant that she wanted to complete the program quickly. Together, she and her Career Coach searched for a Certified Nursing Aid training program that fits Heather's needs and desire to be finished quickly.  They discovered  Davis Training Institute in Saginaw, which offered a 2-week CNA course. 

Heather stated that the training site was “phenomenal” and was grateful for the recommendation.  She was also thankful for the gas mileage support as the school was a considerable commute. Heather applied and was hired at Covenant Emergency Care Center within a month of completing her classes.  She loves working there and is happy with her decision to become a Certified Nurse Aid to help people in their time of need.
