Michigan - Meet Josh
Workforce Success Story Submitted By: Michigan Works!
Workforce Challenge
Josh was living in Indiana, but wanted to move back to Michigan. As a retired vet, he was looking for someplace in northeast Michigan that hired ex-military.
Workforce Solution
Josh worked with Mary, a Career Navigator, and Shelly, a Business Solutions Professional at the Alpena Michigan Works! office to help him find a suitable position. Mary found him a position that offered On-the-Job Training with Alpena Grounds as a Maintenance Technician. She helped him with all the paperwork and he was soon learning how to operate heavy machinery, developing radio skills, and being put in charge of maintaining various areas of the airport.
Outcomes & Benefits
Radio proficiency was a challenge, but once Josh learned how to operate it and the proper terminology, everything fell into place.
