Bryan grew up in a migrant and seasonal farmworker family; he was determined to build a future with greater economic stability. His goal? Transition from production work into a high-demand career that could provide long-term growth.
With guidance from Michigan Works! West Central, Bryan explored Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training. While funding challenges initially slowed his progress, NFJP stepped in to remove barriers. Through NFJP enrollment and WIOA Adult co-enrollment, Bryan gained access to training resources and supportive services that made his dream possible.
Bryan’s educational journey began at 160 Driving Academy, where he successfully completed CDL training and earned his CDL Class certification. This achievement opened doors to a stable, high-demand career.
Today, Bryan is proudly working as a CDL driver and is already planning his next big step: owning and operating his own transportation business.
His story is a powerful example of how NFJP helps farmworker families turn aspirations into reality.
