CEPI and the Michigan Department of Education are developing MiEdWorkforce to combine the functions of MDE’s Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS) and CEPI’s Registry of Educational Personnel into one data system, reducing reporting burdens and improving data transparency.

Efficiencies created by MiEdWorkforce will help Michigan’s educators; schools and districts; colleges, universities, and alternative route providers; education researchers; and more.

• Expanded user role-based access that includes applicable credentialing data in addition to employment data.
• On-Demand Data Quality reports that include dynamic data visualizations and the option to preview publicly available reports.
• Automation of manual processes including tracking New Teacher Monitoring requirements, appropriate placement checks and audit.
• Enhanced credential verification within employment reporting.
• Increased data transparency and availability of historical data.

MDE and CEPI anticipate launching MiEdWorkforce in summer 2027. The following are major project milestones leading to the launch of MiEdWorkforce

• August 2025 – October 2025: RFP vendor onboarding
• October 2025 – January 2027: System development
