Governor Gretchen Whitmer has unveiled the Michigan Statewide Workforce Plan, a comprehensive blueprint aimed at addressing key challenges and bolstering opportunities for all Michiganders. The plan, approved by the Michigan Workforce Development Board, outlines ambitious strategies to equip individuals with the skills needed for the evolving job market.
Comprising three core pillars, the plan emphasizes increasing skill certification and degree attainment, enhancing access to middle-class opportunities, and fostering business growth through talent solutions. By 2030, the goal is to elevate the percentage of working-age adults with skill certificates or college degrees to 60%.
Developed in collaboration with various stakeholders, including labor, business, and community leaders, the plan marks a concerted effort to propel Michigan’s workforce into the top echelons nationally.
