"Participation at our 2022 Hiring Parties was beyond anything we expected," said Michigan Works! West Central Executive Director Shelly Keene. “Our Hiring Parties are a great way to bring job seekers and employers together in a casual setting, all while sharing some lunch. Last year, participating employers boasted an average 47 percent hiring rate! We're hoping to see an increase in the number of employers participating, job seekers who attend and, ultimately, an increase in the number of hires made!"
