Everyone deserves access to basic necessities like high-speed internet, clean water, state-of-the-art infrastructure and economic growth. And the current unprecedented state and federal investments in infrastructure have the possibility to transform communities and create new opportunities for workers today — while building new industries for tomorrow’s workforce.
On April 29, 2024, Governor Whitmer signed the Building Up Michigan’s Workforce and Infrastructure executive directive to ensure Michigan has the workforce needed to maximize historic federal and state infrastructure investments and to build the diverse, inclusive workforce of the future.
Read the executive directive
Build on the Statewide Workforce Plan by establishing a statewide strategy to meet infrastructure workforce development goals by May 1, 2025.
Collaborate with agencies and departments to improve workforce development programs.
Facilitate the training of 5,000 infrastructure workers in Michigan by January 1, 2030.
To accomplish these goals, The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will work with other State of Michigan agencies and departments such as the Department of Transportation, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office and the Michigan Infrastructure Office to create a robust outreach and engagement strategy that includes you!
LEO and partnering departments will engage workers, industry, labor, training and education partners, and workforce development agencies in communities across the state as part of the implementation of this directive.
