No Worker Left Behind
Michigan Works! agencies have already exceeded the goal of funding 130,000 Michigan workers in training for in-demand jobs.
Under No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) we have enrolled more people in training each month than were enrolled the same month of the previous year for 22 consecutive months.
The Michigan Works! Agencies have shifted resources to maximize the funds made available to fund training - increasing over 30% in the last two program years.
The recent, large federal formula funding cut combined with our emphasis on longer term training means that most of the funds coming to Michigan for the program year, beginning July 1, is obligated to the training of people who have already started their NWLB training.
Michigan workers should continue to go to their local Michigan Works! offices to take advantage of the many reemployment services available and to explore and prepare for training if funds become available.
Each Michigan Works! Service Center has enhanced workshops and seminars to help unemployed workers find new employment opportunities. Don't hesitate to get the professional assistance you need from our skilled staff! Call 1-800-285-9675 to locate a Michigan Works! service center near you.
