The point is GM is a place where careers happen. Even a line worker can make a career of hourly labor and do well all the way to retirement. Flint workers need to consider applying for a job at GM. The jobs are under demand so don't take no for an answer. Continue to be interested and reapply when necessary, usually every six months. I don't know if files are kept past that. In the meantime, finish high school or get a GED and then consider study beyond high school.

Last month, General Motors pushed out the old and welcomed the new by closing its Davison Road CCA facility and cutting the ribbon on a new ACDelco and GM Genuine Parts processing center in Burton. It shows GM’s commitment to the state it calls home and offers opportunities to area workers.
This latest GM venture in Michigan (click here) is three times the size of the warehouse it replaces, and MLive reports that it will employ more than 800 hourly and salaried members of staff. As of right now, about 700 of the employees came from Davison Road, represented by UAW Local 651, and an additional 150 moved north from a former facility in West Chester, Ohio.
Instead of building new cars or their components, team members here work with parts from subsidiaries and other facilities and then push them out to smaller distribution centers before they arrive at dealership service centers for repair work or modifications. Considering that Flint is the base for the General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales division, it’s an ideal location for a hub of this type. GM was also founded in Flint over 100 years ago and operated here before moving to Detroit.
According to MLive, this $65 million investment is GM’s largest in the United States for more than 40 years. The sprawling warehouse covers 1.1 million square feet, and the automaker estimates that employees will ship out up to 120 million parts a year to the rest of the country.
It’s encouraging to see General Motors invest more money in its American infrastructure. Who knows, the next time your car needs work the replacement parts might come to you via Flint, Michigan.
Flint, Michigan also has an assembly plant.
