<!--MAFSWAI: Supporting Michigan's Sixty by 30 initiative-->
The current skills gap poses the single greatest threat to the success of our state's prosperity. Jobs requiring skilled employees today, as well as jobs on the horizon, demand greater education and training than ever before.
That's why Michigan has established a Sixty by 30 goal to increase the number of working-age adults with a skill certificate or college degree to 60% by 2030. Sixty by 30 seeks to provide greater access to the education and skills that create opportunities for better jobs and bigger paychecks.
The Michigan Agriculture and Food Systems Workforce Advancement Initiative will help close the skills gap by increasing opportunities for education and career skill training programs for MSFW youth and adults. By expanding services, this initiative will place migrant and seasonal farmworkers on the right path to gain the skills necessary to achieve lifelong economic self-sufficiency.
