Get Training in Key Industry Sectors

Michigan Works! West Central is partnering with three other Michigan Works! agencies to provide training in four key industry sectors: Construction, Infrastructure, Energy and Mobility. The Regional Innovation Project will unite efforts across Northern Michigan to address workforce shortages by connecting job seekers with the training necessary to fill these critical and in-demand roles.

“With our four Michigan Works! agencies partnering together on this initiative, we will be able to provide essential base-level credentials to career seekers throughout Northern Michigan in the Construction, Infrastructure, Energy and Mobility sectors,” said Shelly Keene, Executive Director for Michigan Works! West Central. “Our united approach will strengthen Northern Michigan’s workforce pipeline by preparing hundreds of individuals for success in these high-growth, high-demand industries. We are proud to collaborate with our neighboring agencies on this initiative to provide seamless comprehensive services to 39 of Michigan’s 83 counties.”

The Regional Innovation Project grants will enable the implementation of the ambitious strategies and data-driven actions laid out in the Michigan Statewide Workforce Plan to help address regional workforce challenges.
