Not only are these investments important to our children and their future, they are critical to Michigan's economic recovery.
The businesses we want to grow in Michigan have one thing in common - they want an educated, skilled workforce.
That's why we are now giving all high school graduates in our state the opportunity to earn a $4,000 Michigan Promise scholarship when they go on to college or get technical training. And that's why we want all Michigan students to take the rigorous courses in high school they need to succeed in college and the workplace. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/gov/Gov136_Full_228107_7.mp3
