The Community & Worker Economic Transition Office ensures Michigan’s workers, communities and businesses have the tools and resources to navigate economic change. We work to build a stronger, future-ready Michigan by equipping workers with in-demand skills, preparing existing businesses to compete in emerging markets, and building thriving, resilient communities in every corner of the state.
We're executing a first-of-its-kind strategy that brings together workforce, community, and economic development under one unified vision for a more prosperous Michigan. Read more about our Economic Transition Strategy .
Equipping our existing businesses to compete globally in growth sectors.
Strengthening local capacity to respond to change and plan for the future.
Scaling proven models that focus on in-demand skills and job quality.
To help local leaders navigate rapid economic changes and plan for long-term success, we created a Community Transition Playbook. Developed with input from communities across the state, the playbook provides practical tools, strategies and resources to strengthen economic resilience, support workers and businesses and build a shared vision for sustainable growth. Whether preparing for future disruptions or responding to economic change today, the playbook offers a roadmap for communities of all sizes to create new opportunities and thrive in Michigan's evolving economy.
