Michigan Works! Helps Young Man Obtain CDL Certification to Increase Employability

Ethan is a recent Atlanta Community School graduate, looking to increase his employability by completing a CDL-A. Ethan came to Michigan Works!

With his training assistance secured, Ethan enrolled in the CDL-A training course with Road Warrior Truck Driving School, Inc. In August 2024, Ethan completed his training, securing his CDL-A license! Ethan is currently employed with a local golf resort, while he explores opportunities in truck driving.
