The Michigan Veterans’ Employment Services (VES) team is working with local Michigan Works! agencies and other partners to create a comprehensive network of services that will support local employers and significantly impact the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to serving our nation.

The Michigan Patriot Care Services (MI-PCS) initiative is designed to help participating employers address critical workforce needs by attracting and retaining valuable veteran talent.

MI-PCS formally launched in November 2023 in partnership with MyMichigan Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie. Since that time, the program has expanded to include Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital and Baraga County Hospital with several other hospitals and health systems on the horizon.
