The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, Workforce Development awards funds to employers through Michigan's workforce system, commonly known as Michigan Works! Agencies (MWA). MWA Business Services staff conduct fact-finding sessions with employers to assess their training needs, identify training providers, and determine eligibility to apply for Going PRO Talent Fund. If an employer is eligible to apply, MWA Business Services staff provide access to an online application through the Work-Based Learning Online Management System (WBLOMS).
Employers interested in applying for the Going PRO Talent Fund must contact a Michigan Works! Talent Fund Key Contact. Employers cannot access the online application until approved by an MWA. To learn more about Going PRO Talent Fund requirements and allow enough time for fact-finding, please contact a Michigan Works! Agency.
After fact-finding is completed, Going PRO Talent Fund applications are submitted electronically by Michigan Works! Agencies. MWAs may allow an employer to complete portions of the application or may choose to complete the entire application on behalf of the employer. Contact an MWA to learn how to apply through WBLOMS.
Please do not attempt to access WBLOMS before receiving instructions from an MWA. Employers will have limited access in WBLOMS until approved by an MWA.
