Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

As part of Careers in Energy Week, MI Environment looks at recent energy job growth and projected job increases in Michigan.
Governor Whitmer has proclaimed Oct. 17 to 21 Careers in Energy Week, noting that Michigan’s energy industry currently boasts nearly 116,000 jobs. Total employment in the field is projected to increase by 7.5% between 2020 and 2030.
That projected growth underscores the need to increase the number of adults with a skill certificate or college degree for high-skilled, high-demand careers in the industry.
To address that, the Michigan Energy Workforce Development Consortium -- a partnership of representatives from the energy industry, education, workforce, labor, government and veterans – has launched an outreach initiative that aims to heighten awareness of high-growth, rewarding careers in the energy industry.
Michigan energy companies and educators have teamed up to create awareness for students and job seekers about the rewarding careers in the energy sector by hosting the following events open to the public:
