Cheyenne Shifts Gears Into a New Career

When Cheyenne came to Michigan Works! Northeast Consortium, he was unemployed after a workforce reduction at his previous job. Having grown up around trucks—and previously certified in Auto/Diesel Repair—he was eager to earn his CDL-A through Road Warrior Truck Driving School and open the door to new career opportunities.

Michigan Works! Northeast Consortium was able to braid funding from the WIOA Dislocated Worker Program and the Regional Innovation Project to cover Cheyenne’s tuition. With this support, he successfully earned his CDL-A and has since secured a truck-driving position with Thompson Truck Group.

Cheyenne is now back on the road and building a strong future in the trucking industry.
