Michigan already benefits from high-quality Apprenticeship Readiness (AR) programming, also known as “Pre-Apprenticeship Training”. Program certification will increase this benefit. AR programs help prepare residents for enrollment into and completion of the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) businesses use to grow talent. While some programs provide completers with skills and connections to help them successfully enter and complete RAPs, many do not. The Michigan Apprenticeship Readiness Certificate (MARC) recognizes high-quality AR programs to help residents access training that leads to RAP opportunities and enables sponsors to find qualified RAP applicants more readily.
The Going PRO Talent Fund, formerly known as the Skilled Trades Training Fund, makes awards to employers to assist in training, developing and retaining current and newly hired employees. Training funded by the Talent Fund must be short-term and fill a demonstrated talent need experienced by the employer. Training must lead to a credential for a skill that is transferable and recognized by industry.
