The Office of Global Michigan (OGM) was created to help grow Michigan's economy by retaining and attracting global talent; to promote the skills, energy, and entrepreneurial spirit of our immigrant and refugee communities; and, strives to make Michigan a more welcoming state. Consistent with that vision, the office supports immigrant and refugee integration initiatives for the state.

OGM is responsible for two programs: the Michigan International Talent Solutions (MITS) program and the state refugee services program. Additionally, it aligns closely with the three state ethnic commissions - the Hispanic/Latino Commission, Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and the Commission on Middle Eastern American Affairs.
