The Michigan Workforce Development Board convenes business, labor, workforce, and education leaders to oversee and enhance Michigan’s workforce system and to advise the Governor on workforce related policies and priorities, including advancing the goals outlined in Michigan’s Statewide Workforce Plan.
The Michigan Statewide Workforce Plan is the first public, cross-sector, statewide strategy to address challenges and embrace opportunities facing our state. The plan outlines a collaborative vision where state departments and external partners work together to achieve ambitious goals to increase skills and degree attainment, expand opportunities to grow the middle class, and enable business growth.
The Statewide Workforce Plan aims to unlock the full potential of Michigan’s workforce and create new opportunities where individuals and businesses can thrive in Michigan.
