From South Central Michigan Works: Our goal is to help businesses survive and thrive in our region. We know the only way to place qualified job seekers is to promote healthy, viable companies that create demand for skilled workers.
Under MCL 389.161 - 389.166, employers can obtain training for new employees hired for new jobs under the Michigan New Jobs Training Program. Designed as an economic development incentive, the MNJTP authorizes community colleges to issue debt on behalf of employers that are creating new jobs and/or expanding operations in Michigan for the purpose of funding a variety of training and employee development needs for those new positions.

Our impact goes beyond the factory floor to create a ripple effect of positive sustainable impact on business, its workforce, and the community.
Since 1991, our full-time consulting staff has provided training and implementation assistance to a wide variety of industry sectors. Our expertise is provided on a fee for service basis and we frequently assist businesses in applying for federal and state funds to supplement our fees.
