Troys-Welding-Journey-Sparks-Career-Success

With the support of Upper Peninsula Michigan Works!, Talent Services Specialist Sarah Micheau, and a braided funding approach through WIOA Youth and the National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Troy transitioned from agricultural work to a promising career path in welding.

Currently enrolled in a welding education program, Troy has already earned multiple industry-recognized certifications, even before graduation! His dedication, work ethic and drive to succeed have made him a standout participant in the program.

As Troy nears graduation, the NFJP team is excited to support his transition into full-time employment and celebrate his achievements. His story is a testament to the power of collaboration, opportunity and determination. It’s also a great example of what’s possible when we align resources and support systems to meet young people where they are!
