No Worker Left Behind

No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) is Governor Granholm’s vision for transforming Michigan’s economy into one that is knowledge based, as more and more manual labor is mechanized and computerized. Employers across the state are facing a shortage of workers with the skills and education necessary to fill open positions in the knowledge-based emerging sectors.

Visit one of SEMCA’s Michigan Works Service Centers to see if you qualify for the NWLB program:

• Workers will need to take a skills assessment test administered by the Michigan Works! Agencies (MWAs) and must meet eligibility criteria.

• Tuition assistance is capped at $5,000 per year for two years, or a total of $10,000 per person.

• Once enrolled, participants need to complete training within four years of starting the program.

To learn more about No Worker Left Behind in Wayne and Monroe Counties, contact your local service center by calling 1-800-285-WORKS (9675) to register for an orientation session.

No Worker Left Behind participants must meet a series of eligibility criteria and complete an assessment administered by the staff of your local Michigan Works Service Center. For more information and a full description of the process, please register for an orientation session.
