Reconnect

Intro

"MAYBE SOMEDAY" JUST BECAME "DEFINITELY TODAY."

  • Free tuition at your in-district community college to earn an associate degree or Pell-eligible skill certificate if you're 25+
    Community College

  • Note: If you attend college in the district where you live, tuition is free. If you attend a college in a district where you don’t live, Reconnect only pays the in-district part of the tuition and the student will need to pay the remaining balance.

Sixty by 30

  • These programs and initiatives support Michigan's goal to increase the number of working-age adults with a skill certificate or college degree from 49% today to 60% by 2030.

    Sixty by 30 seeks to build a better Michigan in three ways:

    Increase opportunity for all Michiganders and give residents greater access to the education and skills that create opportunities for better jobs and bigger paychecks.

    Close the skills gap that challenges the success of our businesses and our state's prosperity. Jobs requiring skilled employees today, as well as jobs on the horizon, demand greater education and training than ever before.

    Make Michigan more competitive for inclusive economic growth.
