Mic ichiga higan n Wo Works! Wes Westt Cen C entt ra rall Off Of fer erss a Winnin Winningg Dre Dre am-M m-Maa k in ingg Fo Fo r mu l a

By Jon Becker

for the support and guidance Michigan Works!

West Central provided him.

For the staff, the feeling is mutual.

When it comes to life-changing assistance, Michigan Works! West Central has a winning formula. Each year the agency, fronted by Talent Specialists adept at matching job seekers with employers, helps thousands of individuals embark on new, more rewarding career paths.

“For many of us at Michigan Works! West Central, the best part of our jobs is seeing those who walk in our doors find the right training, land their dream job or even make the smallest changes that advance their careers to change their lives for the better,” Eppley said. “Every one of our success stories is unique, but we put in the same effort for every participant to make sure everyone finds the success they’re looking for.”

“Our Business Services and Talent Specialist teams are connected to employers across our six-county region,” said Jonathan Eppley, Communication and Marketing Manager for Michigan Works! West Central. “They know what available positions are out there and are ready to match you with the best career opportunities.”

As 2023 draws to a close, the New Year is filled with promise for those seeking a new life trajectory. Take that first, pivotal step and contact Michigan Works!

West Central. Their Talent Specialists are eager to show you possibilities you may not even know existed.

“The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to start fresh,” Eppley said.

“Whether you’re looking for a change of pace from your current job or are currently in between jobs, Michigan Works! West Central is here to help. Our talented Talent Specialists can help you identify what your interests are and match you up with the right training and/or available job.”

That’s precisely what happened with Jackie

Talent Specialists help clients search job listings, build cover letters and resumes, conduct mock interviews, provide professional attire, among other services. If you’re interested in making changes to your career, come talk to the team at Michigan Works! West Central.

Above, Cameron Porter. Bottom Left, Jackie Argueros. Bottom Right, Brandon Nowak.

Photos provided by the Michigan Works! West Central Team Argueros, Brandon Nowak and Cameron Porter, three individuals who experienced the agency’s winning lifechanging formula firsthand.

Argueros, determined to battle through personal hardship that led her to lose her job, turned to Michigan Works! West Central for help.

It was a difficult time in her life, but giving up simply wasn’t an option. She had daughters to care for and now, after engaging with the agency’s Talent Specialists,

put the work in to find a new lease on life as a Certified Nursing Assistant at St. John’s Medical Center.

For others struggling, Argueros offers a piece of advice: “Keep trying. Keep telling yourself you can do it.

Personal trauma can defeat you if you let it. Go to your local Michigan Works! and be honest and ask for their help. They have so many programs for so many different needs.”

Nowak and Porter are Michigan Works! West Central success stories as well. The agency got Nowak on a path to previously unattainable job possibilities through completing his GED and helping him find financial assistance for CDL training. Today Nowak is a long-haul truck driver, a position that affords him the opportunity to see the country – which he relishes.

Porter was able to pass his GED exams, which led to a job working on an oil rig in Wyoming with his stepfather.

He occasionally returns to Michigan Works! to talk about his experiences and discuss new opportunities.

Porter, Nowak and Argueros, have high praise

Through a partnering adult-education program,

“It’s our job to make sure you advance your career goals,” Eppley said. “Come to one of our Michigan Works!

Service Centers to see how we can help you get the right training, find a job and earn more money. You may be our next success story!”

Because of love, He came for us; Because of grace, He died; Because of hope, He gave us life; a living sacrifice.

Because of Him, we live and move; He freed our world from sin; Because of Christmas we have hope – It’s all because of Him. During this glorious, joy-filled season let us celebrate His miracles again and again.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For in Him we live and move, and have our being.

Excellent Care Professional Service

Meet Cleo!

She is a 13-week-old French Bulldog that was brought to our shelter by a military personal that was sent out of state for a peace keeping mission and there was no one to look after this sweet puppy he just adopted from a breeder out of state. If you are sure, you can give Cleo a good home, kindly use the link below and put in an application and follow the procedure to secure her now.

Cleo is %100 medically good and very friendly with pets and other Animals.

Meet Henry!

Henry came into the shelter in July as a stray, he was mostly feral when we brought him in. Henry would make a great barn cat or would do well in a quiet home with children 10+. Henry doesn’t really want much attention but will come to his new people for a few pets and food.We are estimating that he is 2 years old.

We are normally closed for weekends.

If you have an emergency for animal control, please contact dispatch at (231) 745- 2711.
